E- mailed details. No safety defect listed. (dot number: ??? tiresize: 245/75r16).
Right front tires were wearing out. Had tires rotated, and they still wore out, and vehicle was vibrating. This problem has occurred earlier. Contacted dealer ,and dealer aligned tires. But, they still could not not find cause on why tires were wearing out.
At approx. 25,000 miles all tires have flat spots & 1 has a broken belt (these tires are from the factory on my truck). Have contacted 2 local firestone dealerships and was told they could not help me. (tiresize: lt24575r16).
While driving through an open field that had just recently be harvested for soy beans. I was making a left turn when the right front tire suddenly went flat. This caused the right front rim to plunge into the ground. This resulted in the truck rolling over. (tiresize: p265/75r16)( dot number: tire size: p265/75r16 ).
Tire underwent sudden and complete (360 deg. ) tread separation at approx. 65 mph after having been driving about one hour at speeds of (60-70mph). Weather was clear, temp (95-100deg. ). Tire was routinely inspected and kept inflated at factory recommended level of 35psi. Tire had experienced no prior puncture or other damage. All four tires on the vehicle have been replaced and are in my possession and available for inspection. (dot number: w273 tiresize: p265/75r16).
The tires would not plug, everytime they put a plug in it the tire would rip even more and chunks of the tire rip off while driving. The tires would end up having up to 6 plugs in a small pin hole due to the ripping. . ( dot number: tire size: 265/75/16 ).
Tires started making an unusual noise when driving at highway speed. Due to recent recalls, I purchased new tires at a cost of $750. Please advise me if these tires are recalled or begin to fail others. ( dot number: w273wmr129 tire size: p265/75r16 ).
While driving from home (mesa az) to milwaukee WI, I noticed a once per revolution thump and upon inspection I found a three inch crack at the outer circumference of the right front tire at the steel belt line. The crack was beginning to progress outward radially into the actual tread at the trailing edge of the crack. A local firestone dealer (Dodge city tire center (316) 225-9090, exchanged the tire with a new for cost of balancing only. The claim number was 7797436 which the dealer promised me that they would send the tire to firestone with that number attached so it could be traced. I believe that I saved firestone a damage repair which should allow them to replace the rest of the tires in question on my vehicle. Local dealership in flint michigan refused to do anything. ( dot number: w273wmb169 tire size: p265-75r16 ).
After 235-15 recall announcement I decided to check the tires on my truck. One of them suffered from belt separation. I took it back to firestone and they replaced it without any pro-rated charges. This problem may be bigger than just one tire size. ( dot number: tire size: 265r75-16 ).
No summary (tiresize: lt26575r16)( dot number: tire size: lt26575r16 ).

Tire was replaced at 1000 miles due to excessive vibration. The others seem bad also. (tiresize: lt24575r16)( dot number: tire size: lt24575r16 ).
Left front tire (still attached to tire: brakes, u-joint, tie rod) came off vehicle while driving 45mph, lost control, struck another vehicle and rolled. Truck has been totaled by insurance. Gm contacted on 1/20/00 but no follow up.
This tire separated on me. It threw the tread off just like the 15" tires that are being recalled. It caused me to run off the road onto the shoulder, but no damage or injury to me or my truck occurred. There was 56% of the tread left on the tire. The firestone dealer found no apparent road damage to the tire to cause the separation. ( dot number: ? tire size: lt24575r16 ).
On July 1, 1999, had a flat on a firestone tire while driving. Tread did not come off tire, but tire came apart inside and could not be fixed. On 9/21/00 identical problem with tire that was replaced due to 7/1/99 incident. No indication of loss of air other than where tire had separated. (dot number: unknown tiresize: p265/75r16).
Belts have slipped on at least two(2) tires, causing excessive pull to right side, alighment is ok( dot number: ? tire size: p265/75r16 ).
The goodyear wrangler tires on the vehicle were out of round, causing the vehicle to vibrate while driving.
Vibration at various speeds . Safety concern about traction on wet pavement . Been to 3 dealers with no satisfaction . Lost all previous comments while trying to correct . . . I feel general motors needs to be more responsive to the safety of their vehicles . Gm customer assistance recognizes the problem but donna, rep , says I must wait until goodyear mass produces more tires and they will recall . I drive 150 miles a day at 65 + mph . How long must I wait , until myself or someone else is killed or injured???( dot number: tire size: p235x16 ).
Large chunks of tread missing from tire, unusual wear. ( dot number: tire size: p26575r16 ).
Cannot get a answer if mine could be bad( dot number: tire size: p275r16 ).
On March 21, 2000 while driving on interstate 84 near the dalles, oregon I heard a loud pop sound followed by the rumbling of a flat tire. I immediately pulled over and discovered a flat tire. I then changed the completely flat tire. The next day I attempted to have the flat tire repaired at a commercial tire dealership in pasco, washington. Thdy told me that the tire had not been punctured but instead that the wall had seperated from the tread and that the tire was un repairable. I left the tire with them and received a bill for $44. 00 ffor the mounting of a used spare. More recently this summer I have notice a small piece of tread has detached from another one of my tires.

Firestone wilderness/at tire on this vehicle blewout at 28,000 miles. Consumer has had tire replaced.
Tires are cracking-dry rotting. Junk tires. (dot number: vn73 tiresize: 265/75/r16).
The tires are coming apart- not holding up. (dot number: vn73 tiresize: 265-75r16).
Goodyear p235/75r16 st tires have been replaced 3 times within only 19000 miles, consumer states he found himself at times with no traction and tires would make bang noises.
When vehicle is driven on a wet surface it begins to slide. Tires were replaced due to premature wear. Dealer has been contacted.
The vehicle has had a vibration from day one. The vehicle has been back to the dealer no less than 5 times in the last year. The tires have been replaced 3 times, 5 service bulletins have been performed. The vibration was reduced but not eliminated. The dealer does not know what else to do. I feel that the vehicle may become unsafe as time goes on because the vibration gets worse over time. ( dot number: ).
This is the second tire of the original tires that the rubber has seperated from the cord on this vechicle. These were not any of the tires listed on recall but have been a problem for me to deal with. The first was replaced before the recall was made on any of the tires and that is documented for replacement. The second tire that separated rubber was on 02-03-02. Is it possible there are problems with this particular tire also. I wanted to report it so that there is some type of documentation if there is a failure in the manufacturing of this type and model of tire. I have lost credibility for safety in firestone tires at this point and intend to remove them all from my vehicle ASAP. Thank you for any information or assistance that you may offer.
