The contact owns a 2003 Ford Excursion equipped with b. F. Goodrich rugged terrain (na), tire line: lt26575r16 load ranger e (na) tires. The contact stated that the tread separated on the rear passenger side tire. The tire was not replaced. The tire failure mileage was 24,000 and the vehicle failure mileage was 98,000.
Driving on country road approximately 50 mph a thudding noise was heard and felt in the truck. After pulling over found the dirvers side rear tire to be blown - either sidewall failure or partial tread separation. This was on a firestone steeltex r4s running a 55 psi on a 2003 Ford Excursion eddie bauer. Tires had approximately 50,000 miles on them. I replaced with the spare and continued on safely. A search of the internet revealed this site and lawyer sites detailing similar failures. Will be contacting firestone.
