There is a "crack/tear" on the upper side wall that i discovered on 8/28/00. I took it to firestone and was informed that it was caused by road hazard; i don't feel comfortable with firestone's response and am worried that it is a defective tire. I have not been involved in a crash with this tire but the "crack/tear" on the tire makes me worried about the safety of my vehicle.( dot number: tire size: p255/70r16 )

I came home from work and went into the supermarket. When i came out i noticed my right rear tire was almost flat. I put the spare on and the next morning drove up to the local firestone dealer. The firestone dealer said there was a hole between the tread and the sidewall and therefore it couldn't be fixed. They (firestone) told me the tire was not on the recall list so they wouldn't do anything about it. I went to…

Firestone recall doesn't address all tires sizes, only one size. I can not see why only one size would be affected. I feel that a total recall of all sizes in the affected series should be done. Anything lees seems to be an attempt by a major business to pacify washington at the expense of the consumer. Please encourage firestone and ford to reconsider this recall. Until this is done, i cannot feel confident…

The tire blew while driving around 70 mph. The recall started shortly after we had it replaced.

They refused saying the tires were not under warrantee. We should have reported this when the recall was anounced, but when we finally decided to replace all…
