Tire failure. (p. 235/70/r16).
Tires on wet pavement lose contact with the road easily and start slipping, warranty current. 30 mph speed driven when incident occurred. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
Tires failed at 16,000 miles then again at 26,000 complaint sent to firestone but they sent letter that they will not cover the replacement because the tires were bought before the recall. Please help. The tires didn't wait for the recall to split and put me and my family's life at risk. (tiresize: p235/70r16)( dot number: tire size: p235/70r16 ).
Firestone p265/r-170 expereinced flat on rough road. Yh.
The original goodyear tires on the vehicle were replaced at 33,000 miles due to being chopped, which caused vibration while driving.
This Ford f150 1998 has fierstone wilderness/ht p23570r16 on it. Consumer noticed that front left tire started to separate. Dealer prorated the tire, and replaced it with the same kind of tire. Firestone prorated a new set of wilderness tires at a lower cost.
I haev been advised as far as the advisory of wilderness ht tires currently on list, for 1 firestone dealer in my are refused to inspect tires period. I drive highways and at this point now where the truck has been docked due to questionable safety of tires. I have been in touch with firestone numerous times and Ford which Ford will no replace them at all period, these are fact tires still on veh and are like new to this day I requested replacements from fire which they denied me.

I prucahsed my new truck on or about sept 1998. Since then I have not had but prblems with the firestone tires. They rode like you were driving down a rocky road I tried rotaing them and keep a close eye on the air pressure of the tires. The two front tires were real bad and I ended up just buying two more from the local firestone dealer in greenville, ky. I am a ky state police trooper and now when there is something wrong with a tire they felt as if they were out of round but could not convince the firestone dealer so I just bout two more. I moved the two rear tires up front and put the two new ones on the back. Even with the before the new tires I noticed that the tires did not maintain a constant air presuure in them and recently during the hot weather we have been having here I have to add additional air to the tires. I have contacted firestone and Ford about this but no one is saying anything. In the comming week I am going to buy me 4 new tires and just get them off I dont trust them if you would like them I would be happy to give them to you for futher tests.
Consumer states there is a thumping noise while driving, tires have been rotated and balanced, also dealer kept the vehilce for one day but could not duplicate the problem, consumer states he knows there is a problem with the tire, he is not requesting four brand new tires but wants the bad tire replaced.
