Consumer Description

I WOULD NOT HAVE CONSIDERED CONTACT HAD NOT THE OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES SHOWN A PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE CAME WITH THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX R4S TIRES. I CHANGED THEM AFTER ABOUT 18000 MILES BECAUSE THEY WERE SO SCARY ON WET PAVEMENT OR SNOW. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD FIRESTONE USED TOO HARD A COMPOUND IN ORDER TO GET EXTRA MILEAGE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MY FORD AGENCY AND NOTICED THE MODEL TYPE FOR THAT TIRE IS NO LONGER THE R4S. NO DAMAGE OR INJURY RESULTED ALTHOUGH SEVERAL AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES RESULTED, EACH OCCURING WITH DIFFERENT DRIVERS.
