Consumer Description

TIRE FAILURE NOTED AT INSPECTION OF VEHICLE, FRONT DRIVERS SIDE. TIRES WERE CHECKED BY DEALER AND NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. MECHANIC NOTED TIRE WAS THREADING, NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH, AND INSTALLED SPARE. CONSEQUENTLY WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN ALWAYS IN THE CAR, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES AND WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE ALL NEW. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRE RECALL HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT AND THANK GOD THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS TIRE WENT BAD. *AK
