Consumer Description

THE TIRE SIZE IS LT245/75R16. THERE WASN'T ENOUGH ROOM TO FIT IT ALL IN THE SPACE PROVIDED. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE, I FOUND THAT A LUG IN THE TREAD WAS TORN FROM THE TIRE WITH A ONE INCH TEAR. IT WAS NOT A STRAIGHT LINE, AND IT FOLLOWED THE CONTOUR OF THE SIDE OF THE LUG. THIS TOLD ME THAT NOTHING PUNCTURED THE TIRE. I HAVEN'T CONTACTED FIRESTONE YET. I HAVE THE TIRE AND DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT UP. I HAVE BEEN DISPLEASED WITH HAVING THESE TIRES ON MY TRUCK, BUT THE DEALER WOULDN'T REPLACE THEM. NOW I'VE HAD A FAILURE AND I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THESE TIRES, AND I WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS, WITH THE HOPE THAT I CAN GET ALL FIVE OF MY TIRES REPLACED. I ALSO AM HOPING THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE THAT WILL KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING HURT BY THESE TIRES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DAVID C. BRAY. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VN11BAD160 TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)
