Consumer Description

WHILE CHANGING MY REAR BRAKES LAST FRIDAY ON MY FORD EXPLORER I DECIDED TO CHECK MY SPARE TIRE WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A FIRESTONE ATX. TO MY SURPRISE THE TIRE HAD ACTUALLY "BLOWN-OUT" AND SEPERATED WHILE IN THE SPARE TIRE RACK UNDER MY VEHICLE. THIS TIRE HAS NOT BEEN ON MY VEHICLE SINCE JULY OF 1999 WHEN I PURCHASED FOUR NEW TIRES AND PUT THE BEST LOOKING TIRE IN THE SPARE TIRE RACK. I BELIEVE SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THIS TIRE IN THE RACK AND DOCUMENT THIS BEFORE I REOMVE IT. THIS BACKS UP FORD'S CLAIM THAT IT IS THE TIRE, NOT THE VEHICLE THAT IS AT FAULT. YOU CAN SEE I HAVE NOT TAMPERED WITH TIS TIRE IN ANYWAY, THERE ARE NO FRESH MARKS ON THE SPARE TIRE SYSTEM SHOWING THE TIRE HAS NOT MOVED IN MANY MONTHS. (DOT NUMBER: B081 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)
