Consumer Description

MY TIRES INDICATE THE START OF A TIRE SEPARATION ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT AXLE. I CAN SEE THE STEEL IN THE TIRE THAT HAS APPROXIMATELY 70% TREAD LEFT. I KEEP MY TIRES CLOSE TO 40 LBS OF PRESSURE AS INDICATED ON THE TIRES. THE START OF THE SEPARTION IS AT THE EDGE OF THE TIRES. MY TIRES ARE THE SAME TIRES THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WITH 28,000 MILES, WHY SHOULD I SEE SIGNS OF SEPARTION? MY SIZE AND TYPE OF TIRE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. HAVE YOU HAD ANY INCIDENTS WITH THIS TIRE:FIRESTONE - WILDERNESS HT - 235/70R16 (DOT NUMBER: W208 TIRESIZE: 235/70R16)
