Two problems related to tire have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet K1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The consumer states that there is something wrong with the firestone wilderness at 265/75r16 tires on the vehicle, the manufacturer is not responding.
At about 25,000 miles, I noticed unusual tire wear. It looks as if someone took a chisel and chipped off pieces of tread. Front and rear tires. The pieces missing range in size from 1/8" - 1/2" dia. The tires have been rotated per manufacturer specs. Properly inflated at 44 psi cold. Driven on paved surfaces, and at moderate speeds. I went to the firestone at 5499 n. High st. , worthington OH 43085, and the employee, after treating me like a moron, informed me that the recall only was for certain 15" tires. He then insisted that it was normal tire wear. I strongly dissagree, and ask that my tires be included in the recall. I do not feel safe driving my truck. How can I send you a photo, or mold to show you why I am concerned? please respond. ( dot number: w273wma tire size: p265/75r16 ).
