NHTSA Complaint #726741 — 1999 FORD EXPLORER

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH VIBERATION WHEN I GET A TIRE ROTATION. EVERYTIME THE BACK TIRES ARE ROTATED TO THE FRONT, I HAVE INCREASED VIBERATION, SO I HAVE SINCE ROTATED THE TIRES BACK TO WHERE THE VIBERATION IS MUCH LESS. I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER TODAY THAT SAID THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES WERE "UNDER INVESTIGATION". I TRAVEL QUITE A LOT BETWEEN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAYS. SHOULD THIS BE A CONCERN, SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE A TIRE PROBLEM AT THIS PRESENT TIME? I DIDN'T APPRECIATE THE COMMENT IN THE PAPER TODAY "AUSTIN AMERICAN STATESMAN" ABOUT THE FACT THAT "THE SPARE TIRE WAS THERE FOR A REASON" AFTER "NHTSA HAD CITED CASES ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS OF TIRES PEELING OFF THEIR CASINGS, INCLUDING REPORTS OF 21 DEATHS AS THERE CAR IS BARRELING DOWN THE ROAD".. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
