| 1991 | TIRES:TREAD/BELT | WE HAD A TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM ON THIS TIRE IDENTICAL TO THE CURRENT FIRESTONE PROBLEM. THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE TRAVELING ON US 1 BETWEEN FLORIDA CITY AND KEY LARGO. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS KEPT UNDER CONTROL AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE COMING OPPOSITE ON THE TWO-LANE ROAD. THE TIRE TREAD WAS PEALED OFF. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK UP TO MIAMI, TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER. THEY SAID WE MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM. THE CURRENT FIRESTONE PROBLEM WAS UNKNOWN TO US THEN, SO WE HAD TO BUY NEW TIRES (TWO TO MATCH). THE CAR STILL HAS DAMAGE TO THE FENDER WELL. THE SAME MODEL TIRES ARE ON THE CAR NOW, AND WE HAVE NEW CONCERNS ABOUT THEM DUE TO THE CURRENT PROBLEM. THIS MODEL TIRE HASN'T BEEN IDENTIFIED TO ME AS PROBLEMATIC, BUT I READ IN OUR NEWSPAPER ABOUT SOMEONE HAVING A TREAD-SEPARATING BLOWOUT ALSO IN A LINCOLN TOWNCAR WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. MAYBE THERE IS A WIDE SPREAD FIRESTONE PROBLEM?? WE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THE TREAD SEPARATION, AND THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY A RE-TREAD PROBLEM. PLEASE ADD THESE TIRES TO THE PROBLEM LIST AND HELP US WITH OUR TIRE SAFETY. THANK YOU. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 215/70/R15 ) |
