Consumer Description

FORD SHIPPED VEHICLE WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. NEITHER FORD NOR FIRESTONE HAVE ADMITTED RESPONSIBILITY OR CAUSE OF FAILURE OF THESE TIRES ON FORD EXPLORER. I AM UNWILLING TO ACCEPT A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE TIRE ON A NEW VEHICLE. THE TIRES ARE NOT ONLY POTENTIALLY UNSAFE, BUT HAVE LOWER THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. I REPLACED THE FIRESTONE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND REQUESTED FORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPLACEMENT. THEY REFUSED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
