2000 GMC YUKON Tires Problems

COMPLETE TREAD PEELED OFF. SENT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS OPERATED WITH "INSUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE"!!! V672WL10200 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED!!! (NOTE: THE D.O.T. FIELD CUT OFF LAST NUMBER???) MR

I HAVE HAD 2 CATASTROPHIC FAILURES ON THE SUBJECT FIRESTONE TIRES @ 60 AND 70 MPH RESPECTIVELY. FIRESTONE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE FIRST TIRE IN MAY, 2001. AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE, 8/30/02 I FOUND A RECALL CALL NOTICE ON FIRESTONES WEBSITE FOR THE WILDERNESS LE TIRES MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO(WHICH MINE WERE) HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS DOT#V672WL21700. I HAVE APPEALED TO THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER WITHOUT ANY SATISFACTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE RECALL NOTICE AND SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE FIRESTONE IS FORCED TO MAKE A BROADER RECALL.*AK

SIDEWALL FAILED. VEHICLE WAS GOING AT 5 MPH WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. TIRE WAS NOT ABUSED IN ANYWAY. *AK

VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT DURING BRAKING AND WAS GETTTING WORSE...DEALER SAID TREAD WAS CROOKED AND WOULD ONLY REPLACE ONE TIRE NOT A PAIR...THIS AFFECTS DRIVABILITY. THE TREAD WAS NOT CROOKED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.....WHAT HAPPEN...........????? THANKS. *AK (TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)

AT .155" DEPTH OF TREAD AND EVEN WEAR, TIRE DEVELOPED 30 TO 40 DEEP RADIAL CRACKS, 1" TO 2" LONG, BETWEEN THE TIRE OUTSIDE EDGE TREAD BLOCKS AND PROCEEDING TOWARD THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROPERLY INFLATED TO 36 - 50 PSI (80 PSI COLD MAX) AND WAS IMEADIATELY REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE APON DISCOVERY OF DEFECT. THERE IS NO VISIBLE EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AND IT NEVER BEEN OFF THE RIM. THE TIRE STILL HOLDS AIR. (DOT NUMBER: V611 TIRESIZE: LT245/R16)

BLOWOUT OF RIGHT, REAR TIRE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING FREEWAY SPEED (WITH 3 KIDS IN CAR)IN LOS ANGELES. CRASH COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL, BECAUSE WE VEERED INTO LANE TO THE RIGHT, BUT DRIVER(MY HUSBAND) HANDLED TRUCK PROFESSIONALLY (NO BRAKING) AND WE DRIFTED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: NA TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)

I DID NOT SAVE EITHER OF THE FAILED TIRES BUT THEY WERE BOTH REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW 13 MONTHS AGO.*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AT 65 MPH (~60 DEGREES) WHEN THE PASSENGERR REAR TIRE SEEMED TO FALL A PART. BY THE TIME I PULLED OVER THE TIRE WAS COMPLETLY DESTROYED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE DO THAT BEFORE. WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE TO FIRESTONE THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE TIRE. THEY SAID THAT I PROBABLY HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. I DON'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO DOT NUMBER ON THE FIRESONE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS MADE IN MEXICO WITH THE FOLLOWING NUMBER ON IT 3156 EX BM 20562-3.*AK( DOT NUMBER: BM 20562-3 TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )
