Tires on 2003 chevy Silverado do not have grip, they slide on slopes even in dry weather. You must prepare ahead of time to slow down to stop or you will slide or tires will just spin when you proceed on a hill or slight incline, no traction at all, consider dangerous.

Original goodyear tires have no traction in wet conditions. Vehicle has hydroplaned several times while traveling cautiously slow in wet weather.

While driving in the rain at 55 mph and without warning, the vehicle started to spin around in circles. On another occasion, while driving in rain it kept feeling like vehicle wanted to get away from the consumer. The consumer stated the brakes locked up as well.

Tires- new 2003 chevy silvardo-truck slips easily on wet road- going corners and in straight conditions-.

I was driving on a wet road in a 2002 chevy Silverado when the vehicle started to hydroplane out of control off the road. I was driving about 55 mph at the time. Have there been any studies on the perofrmace of vehicles under slick road conditions? are trucks more likely to hydroplane than other types of automobile? since this incident I am concerned about the safety of driving my vehicle in poor weather conditions.

At first 1200 miles original tires had flat spots all around and chopping up.

E- mailed details. No safety defect listed. (dot number: ??? tiresize: 245/75r16).

Truck started vibrating,took a tire to a firestone dealer,they said that happens when tires aren"t rotated properly, I work at a auto service repair center,and my tires are rotated every 6000 mi faithfully, so I disagree. (tiresize: p265r75r16).

Experience vibration between 40 and 70 mph, feels as though tires are skipping on road surface. Driver input is limited by the response of tires. All 5 tires were replaced, experiencing same condition again at 4,000 miles. Have returned to dealer regarding same problem, and am going tor return once more as problem was not corrected. My father has a 2001 GMC sierra with the same problem, same size and model tires have been replaced 2 times, awaits third replacement. Coworker has 2002 Silverado, same tires same problem. Both additional vehicles have under 5,000 miles. (tiresize: 255/70/r16).

Several goodyear tires went flat.

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.

A brand new truck>>back at dealer a vibration in the body of truck at 38-42 mph >>639 miles on tires>>two tires out of round, dealer replaced 2 tires. Problem still there>> tires at 7420 rotated and balanced>>problem still present>>> back to a dealer at 9,705 miles>>tires re-balanced>> problem still present>>taken to a firestone dealer at 11,366 miles>> they had to re-balance all four tires>>>>problem still present. These tires will not stay balanced, this truck has never been taked off road or abused for the tires to keep doing this. (dot number: w273 tiresize: p265/75r16).

When the consumer was trying to change lanes, the vehicle began to wobble due to the front left tire had separated from vehicle (ohio traffic crash report #10-90-543).

Popping and cracking noise coming from the tires on my truck.

Slight to heavy vibration occurs at highway speeds of beginning at 64mph to 78mph. Pickup has been do dealer 4 times since purchased new on 07/28/01 regarding vibration. Dealer keeps rebalancing the tires and this does not correct the problem. The pickup will be in the dealer's shop again this week, only this time they are looking for drivetrain problems. The vibration at highway speeds appears to be a reoccuring problem with the Silverado since introduction based on other consumer complaints.

Pickup has been to dealer 4 times since purchased new 7/28/01 for vibration which appears to be out of balanced tires. Tires found out of balance by dealer, but problem is not corrected. Vibration occurrs between 60mph to 77mph. (dot number: 24575r16 tiresize: lt245/75r/).

Tire failure. (dot number: ? tiresize: ?).

Brought truck into auto dealership and firestone dealership, and both told me that my tire is delaminating. Both told me this is from driving with a flat tire. This tire has never been flat, nor has it ever been low. This is the second issue I have had with the firestone tires on this truck. (tiresize: p265/75r).

I was in the idaho mountains on a day trip when both rear firestone at tires went flat. I changed the most flat of the two and made it into a town on the spare and a flat tire. I put air in the flat tire and made it home. I contacted gm and they told me that the firestone at tires on their trucks were different than on fords and that their's were safe (yea right). I went to a tire retailer in my area and had all the firestone wilderness at tires (including the spare) removed from my truck and new tires (not firestone) installed. The tire installer verified that the problem was tread separation. I just wanted to ask you to please recall these killer tires. I was lucky and didn't kill myself and my family on our outing because of them. All it cost me was $500. 00 for new tires to replace the garbage firestone wilderness at tires that Chevrolet installed on my truck. (tiresize: p26575r16).

Tires cupping on the outside and inside also pieces of tores coming off.

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).

The tire size is lt245/75r16. There wasn't enough room to fit it all in the space provided. After changing the tire, I found that a lug in the tread was torn from the tire with a one inch tear. It was not a straight line, and it followed the contour of the side of the lug. This told me that nothing punctured the tire. I haven't contacted firestone yet. I have the tire and don't want to give it up. I have been displeased with having these tires on my truck, but the dealer wouldn't replace them. Now I've had a failure and I know you have been investigating these tires, and I want to add my name to the list of people with problems, with the hope that I can get all five of my tires replaced. I also am hoping that something can be done that will keep people from getting hurt by these tires. Thank you for your time. David c. Bray. (dot number: vn11bad160 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).

Tire failed at low speed on dirt road due to rock pushing through steel belts in center of tire. Vehicle was less than 10% loaded (no extra weight in bed) (tiresize: 265 75 16)( dot number: tire size: 265 75 16 ).

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 are cracking in between treads. Truck is only one year old. (tiresize: 265/75/r16)( dot number: tire size: 265/75/r16 ).

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 ).
