#10373514 | December 30, 2010 Crash

PRIMEWELL TIRES SOLD AT FIRESTONE ARE ADVERTISED AS ALL SEASON. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES IN FEB 2010. ON DEC 26TH 2010, WE HAD A SNOWSTORM IN HAMPTON AREA. I HAD TO GO OUT AND FOUND OUT THE TIRES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRACTION ON SNOW. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS FOR WINTER CONDITIONS. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES LOSS TRACTION DUE TO A 15 TO 20 MPH WIND AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH KELLY EXPLORER TIRES AND HAD NO TROUBLE NEGOTIATING THE SNOW. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE PULLED FROM THE MARKET OR A WARNING GIVEN TO CONSUMERS. THEY ALSO LOSE TRACTION ON WET ROADS EASILY. AS STATED, THEY ARE ADVERTISED AS " TIRES DELIVER ALL-SEASON TRACTION ". *TR

#733677 | October 20, 2000

I PURCHASED ALL 4 TIRES IN MARCH 1999. ONLY ONE IS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THE OTHER 3 ARE SHOWING CRACKS ALONG THE SEAM OF THE OUTER TREAD. FIRESTONE DEALER AND THE 800 NUMBER ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE/REBATE THE TIRES BECASE THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND WANT THEM REPLACED.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
