Consumer Description

I'VE NOT HAD A FAILURE BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE 16" TIRE HAS EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURES AS THE RECALLED 15" TIRE AND FORD VOLUNTARILY REPLACED ALL SUCH TIRES IN TEH MIDDLE EAST. IT SEEMS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NHTSA REQUIRE A RECALL OF THE 16" FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE AS WELL AS THE 15" TIRE. MY 16" TIRE, APPARENTLY, WAS PRODUCED AT THE SAME DECATUR, ILLINOIS PROBLEM PLANT.( DOT NUMBER: VDCU TIRE SIZE: P255/70-16 )
