Tire Problems of Ford Explorer Sport

These tires are still under warranty. When they were first installed, we noticed a strange sound. We did not assume it was from the tires, but thought it was related to the rotors. This is not our only vehicle and we don't drive it all of the time; in fact it is parked much of the time. We did not get the rotors replaced until August of 2013. The sound continued even with the new rotors, to our surprise. So we went back and checked a second mechanic who then removed all of the tires. After inspecting the tires, the mechanic showed us where they were defective. He physically pointed out some areas where they were deformed. He told us to take them back to where we purchased them for replacement. In short, we were not able to get them replaced at wal mart where they were purchased. I would like these tires independently inspected so that we can verify that they are indeed defective. Thank you.

I was not contacted to the recall on my firestone tires on my 2000 Ford explorer, until last week, and took it upon myself to, at my expense, and replaced said tires, with another, more trusted and safer brand of tire. Now after 6 years. I receive a notice from firestone about my spare, but with the condition that I drive 30 miles, and have the 1 tire replaced with another firestone tire. Firestone refused to replace my original 4 tires, with compensation, and now refuses to replace my spare with a tire that I am comfortable with. . . . . . . . Not a firestone! I feel they should compensate me my $350, original, as well as pay for any tire I choose as my spare. . . . . Which they refuse to do!!!!.

Driving on I-10 when my rear driver side tire separated causing my SUV to serve and almost lose control. It caused over $3,000 in damage. Luckily no other vehicles were damaged and no one was hurt. It is still in the process of being reviewed by the tire company to see if it was a manufacturer's error.
