49 Tire Blowout problem of the 1997 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 12/30/1996

First two incidents involved tire blowouts at 50-70 mph. Each blowout appears to start as a tear along the outter edge of the tread where it meets the belts and then tore to a point in the sidewall. Essentially tearing a triangular chunk out fo the side of the tire. In reading all about current recall, it seems these tires are experiencing a similar problem. I do prescribed regular maintainence (3k) as directed by Ford and almost all my miles are highway miles. Now I have a third tire exhibiting tire peal when not 2k miles ago I had firestone representative tell me I had at least 10k miles left on all my tires. I find it incredibly hard to believe such a highly rated product as firestone produces should fail 3 times on the same vehicle in the same fashion. If you need to see the tire that's peeling I still have it. But independent tire dealers have all said treadwear would indicate longer tire life but the tire is definetly peeling of the belts. ( dot number: tire size: p235-70r16 ).
