Consumer Description

THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY TORN FROM THE TIRE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE AS DID THE TIRE SHOP, BUT SINCE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO ESCAPE WITHOUT AND ACCIDENT I DIDN'T REPORT IT AT THE TIME. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH SOUTHERN ARIZONA DURING THE EARLY SUMMER AT ABOUT 70 MPH,S O WHEN I SAW THE RECALL IT HAD ALL THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS. I HAVE SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER EXPLORER AND WILL HAVE THOSE TIRES REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 INCH )
