Consumer Description

I WAS IN THE IDAHO MOUNTAINS ON A DAY TRIP WHEN BOTH REAR FIRESTONE AT TIRES WENT FLAT. I CHANGED THE MOST FLAT OF THE TWO AND MADE IT INTO A TOWN ON THE SPARE AND A FLAT TIRE. I PUT AIR IN THE FLAT TIRE AND MADE IT HOME. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FIRESTONE AT TIRES ON THEIR TRUCKS WERE DIFFERENT THAN ON FORDS AND THAT THEIR'S WERE SAFE (YEA RIGHT). I WENT TO A TIRE RETAILER IN MY AREA AND HAD ALL THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES (INCLUDING THE SPARE) REMOVED FROM MY TRUCK AND NEW TIRES (NOT FIRESTONE) INSTALLED. THE TIRE INSTALLER VERIFIED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS TREAD SEPARATION. I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU TO PLEASE RECALL THESE KILLER TIRES. I WAS LUCKY AND DIDN'T KILL MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ON OUR OUTING BECAUSE OF THEM. ALL IT COST ME WAS $500.00 FOR NEW TIRES TO REPLACE THE GARBAGE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRES THAT CHEVROLET INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK.*AK (TIRESIZE: P26575R16)
