TIRES
RE: TWO ORIGINAL TIRES SOLD WITH TRUCK - ONE SPLIT AND ONE SEPARATED AT 14,000 MILES. TIRES REPLACED WITH FIRESTONE TIRES ON 7/7/99. FORTUNATELY, THEY FAILED IN TOWN AND NOT ON THE ROAD PULLING SOMETHING. I HEARD ON TV LAST WEEK (10/2/00), THAT FORD OR FIRESTONE WERE INVESTIGATING FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIALS TIRES ON FORD F250 SERIES ANOTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE TWO OTHER ORIGINAL TIRES SPLITTING AT 19,860 MILES. MY CONCERN IS THE TRUCK PULLS A 5TH WHEEL 4-6 TIMES A YEAR FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES EACH WAY. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY RECALL ON THESE TIRES OR IF FIRESTONE WILL REPLACE THE TIRES?
