Consumer Description
I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE WILDERNESS HT P225/70R15-100S. THESE TIRES WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO ANY EFFECTIVE FIRESTONE RECALLS. I STILL HAVE ALL OF THE TIRES WHICH I BELIEVE ARE DEFECTIVE. I REPLACED THE TIRES AT THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER, PRIOR TO ANY RECALLS BY FIRESTONE, AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO FROM HERE.( DOT NUMBER: )
