Consumer Description

THESE TIRES ARE FALITY . THEY HAVE 40000 MILES ON THEM AND HAVE BEEN ROTATED EVERY 5000 MILES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN MAKING A WHOOPING SOUND FOR A LONG TIME. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRERS ARE SEPERATING FROM THE TREAD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER IN NILES MI, AND THE FIRERSTONE CORP. STORE IN SOUTH BEND INDIANA . EXPERT TIRE PHONE # 219-288-7800. THEY AGREE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROM WITH THE TIRES. HOWEVER, THEY CAN NOT REPLACE THEM. THEY SAID THAT THERE NOT ON THE RECALL. I NEED HEIP. PLEASE. I THINK THE REPLACEMENT COST IS OVER $500. I WANT TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLANT THAT THESE TIRES NEED TO ALSO BE ON THE RECALL LIST.( DOT NUMBER: W2CU1PX018 TIRE SIZE: P255/70R16 )
