Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1991 EXPLORER WHICH I PURCHASED NEW.WHEN I RECENTLY INSPECTED MY SPARE FOR THE FIRESTONE RECALL, I WAS REMINDED OF A PROBLEM I FOUND BACK IN 1991 WHERE WHEN I LOWERED THE SPARE FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE WERE 2 CUTS ON EACH SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE;DEEP ENOUGH TO CUT THRU THE STEEL BELTS.THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE FRAME CHAFING THE TIRE WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED FORD DEARBORN AND WAS TOLD TO SEE THE TIRE MANUFACTURER.THE INSTALLATION CHAFED THE TIRE ,NOT FIRESTONE.I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND WILL TAKE A DIGITAL PICTURE AND FWD TO U.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
