Consumer Description

I HAVE 3 USA MADE 31X10.50R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE B AND ONE CANADIAN MADE 31X10.50R15LT M/S LOAD RANGE C (DON'T KNOW WHY FIRESTONE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE ALL LOAD RANGE B'S) TIRES THAT ALL HAVE A CRACK APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE WAY UP THE SIDEWALL THAT RUNS COMPLETELY AROUND THE TIRE. THE CRACKS ARE DEEPENING OVER TIME. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES NEW AND THEY HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED BY FIRESTONE APPROXIMATELY EVERY FIVE THOUSAND MILES PER THE WARRENTY. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY TRUCK METICULOUSLY AND TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED AT LEAST TWICE MONTHLY. I HAVE SEEN THIS CRACK ON MANY WILDERNESS AT III TIRES IN PARKING LOTS. I THINK THESE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO. HTTP://WWW.BRIDGESTONE-USA.COM/NEWS/00815B.HTM SHOWS 137 CLAIMS AGAINST THIS TIRE AS OF 8-22-00 ALREADY AND DOING A STRAIGHT RATIO WITH THE RECALLED TIRES EQUATES TO APPROXIMATELY 6 DEATHS ON THIS TIRE. WHY IS IT NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? NOT ENOUGH DEATHS YET? AS A MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE UNDER FIRESTONES WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WARRANTY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 3110.5R15L)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 3110.5R15L )
