Consumer Description

THE LEFT FRONT 16 INCH FS WILDERNESS AT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM PURCHASE. NO-ONE WILL LISTEN. FIRESTONE CLAIMS FORD DID NOT BALANCE THE FRONT TIRES, WILL ONLY WHINE ABOUT FORD. TRIED TO SELL ME A $109 WARRANTY ON THE TIRES. FORD IS WORSE, WILL ONLY STATE I MUST DEAL WITH FIRESTONE. I'VE NOW TALKED TO A FIRESTONE OWNED STORE, FIRESTONE, THE DEALER AND FORD. NO HELP. SINCE THE 16 INCH TIRE IS NOT IN THE RECALL, I'M SOL. THE 16'S ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE 15'S. I'M 99% CERTAIN NONE OF THESE TIRES ARE ADAQUATE TO LIGHT TRUCK USAGE. I JUST WENT TO TN, SAW POPPED 16 INCH WILDERNESS AT 16'S ALL THE WAY OUT AND BACK. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P255 R7016 )
