general problems of the 2001 Ford F-250

My third uniroyal liberator tire has failed in the same manner as the two before. This is my third complaint concerning these defective tires. These tires all failed in the same exact manner (tread/tire separation) and all within weeks or months of each other. The tread pulled loose from the carcass,causing a bump-imbalance. I recognized the failure and was able to drive home where I changed to a spare. I later replaced this tire. This tire only have about 37,000 miles. Walmart,where I purchased the tires,refuses to give any type of warranty or tire credit and no longer carry this tire. This tire had plenty of tread and was well within its life span. This liberator tire should be recalled and pulled off the market becuase of its consistent failure rate. I have sent complaints to uniroyal with no response. Please have a recall before somone gets killed or injured. These things are junk.

I had another uniroyal liberator tire (265/75/16 e-rated, light truck tire) failure. Both tires failed within one thousand miles of each other and in the same exact way. I filed a complaint with NHTSA on the first tire approx. 2-months ago. Both tires at about 35 to 36,000 miles, while driving at speeds approaching 65 mph formed a balloon on top of the tread causing an imbalance. After changing the tire, it exploded in the bed of my truck. It was obvious to me that a tread seperation had occurred. One could see the smooth areas where the tread had seperated from the belt carcass versus the area where the tread pulled away when it exploded. These uniroyal liberators should be recalled because of how quickly this failure occures. Both tires had plenty of tread and were run within the proper pressure ranges (70 to 80 psi). I have sent uniroyal email complaints concerning these tires. I have one remaining on my truck that will be replaced because I know it will also fail any moment. Please do waht you can to get these tires off the market. The tires date of manufacture was 14th week of 2007.

I've had two of the tires going 65-70 mph basically go flat and tear into pieces after only a few seconds. Both times there is hardly no identifying parts of the tire left on the rim. The last time I was hauling a 20' trailer when it went flat and tore to shreds. The first time I was driving with no trailer and I heard it go flat then the tire just tore to shreds also. These tire are only a year old. It did bend the rear quarter panel. A employee was behind me and said basically the whole tire came off the rim and went across the median of the interstate.

Involved in a single vehicle rollover, caused by tire tread separation according to state police, tire tread came of, tire still has air in it, vehicle is totaled, found piece that came off tire is a (general ameritrac tr lt235/85r16) sustained major injuries due to rollover.

I was driving my 2001 f250 Ford truck and pulling a trailer. I was traveling at a speed of 60 mph on a two- lane hwy. I had just checked all the tires for correct air pressure before leaving home since I was taking a load of pigs to market. Without warning, suddenly I was in an uncontrollable jerk left into the oncoming lane. Fortunately, I was able to gain control just in time to avoid a head-on collision as my truck went into the ditch and stopped. The complete outer layer of rubber came off my left front tire and wrapped itself around the inside disc brake/axle assembly and tore off all of the brake lines from their mooring leading to the left front brake. (I only have 23,400 miles on this truck and have had no other tire incidents). I had to remove the tire which stayed inflated minus its complete outer shell in order to entangle and remove the outer shell portion of the tire from the brake/axle assembly. The main steel brake line was not broken as were other rubber lines to the brake assy. I am awaiting an evaluation from Ford on the front left wheel alignment and brake assembly/lines condition. Ford had no recall on the tires and at first firestone service manager promised to replace all of my tires free of charge because there was a recall on that firestone tire. The next day, once they replaced the tires they came in and advised me that the recall did not match the serial number on my tires and told me then that I would have to pay for the replacement. To compensate me for their mistake on the recall they told me that they would not charge me for the labor portion of the replacement if I would pay for the tires. I was not about to drive on the removed tires again and was between a rock and a hard place, so I paid the bill. While cash layout is an issue here the real issue is poor tire performance that came within a heartbeat of killing me and many other innocent people.

None at this time.

The contact owns a 2001 Ford f250. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle drove as if it had a flat tire. The contact discovered that the driver side rear tire tread had separated. The driver side rear fender, bumper, and the bed sustained damage. The failure recurred with the passenger side rear tire, causing damage to the passenger side rear area and tailgate. The tires were not the original tires and each had 12,000 miles. The manufacturer stated that the tires were not included in NHTSA recall # 06t016000 (tire;tread). The tires were discoverer h/t (p22575r15). The dot # listed was for the passenger side rear tire. The driver side rear dot # was unknown. The current mileage is 50,000 and failure mileage was 45,000.

: the contact stated while traveling 65 mph, a loud noise was heard and debris flew off of the rear end. The vehicle was pulled over and the contact noticed the fender bracket was sticking out and the rear driver side tire had begun to go flat. The vehicle was driven a mile, where the spare was replaced. The tire was taken to multiple mechanics, with multiple diagnoses. This was a continental general grabber tire, tr m&s lt, . Size 235/85r16, updated 10/31/2006 -.

The consumer developed problems with the firestone steeltex radial tires on his 2001 Ford f250. ** answer required***. On two seperate occasions the front and rear left tire had come apart while the vehicle was in motion.

Had two lt 265 75r16 (c rated) goodyear wrangler at/s replaced on my f 250 diesel crew cab 4x4 long bed on the rear because these were the wrong load rating stated in Ford maintenance book. These were replaced with the same tire except they are now e rated. Once on the freeway and began lane changes or long sweeping turns I felt I had a flat. I was losing control of the truck. I immediately slowed down and looked for a place to turn off once off the over pass. I inspected the tires and there did not appear to be anything wrong with them. The following day I went back to the dealership that replaced the tire and a mechanic of theirs took it for a test drive. He too felt the truck lose its steerabilty. We went back to the shop and he visualy inspected the tires for pressure, security(lug nuts) etc. And discussed it with another individual(s). It was his/their oppinion that I may need to replace the front tire because they may not be gripping as well as the rear and taht it what I am feeling and I may also need an alignment. I agreed I would have these things done. However, if this does not resolve it they will not reimburse me for the added expense" it's just a starting point". I have discussed this with a few mechanics and tire specialist had they have no idea what could be causing this. I went on line to research the problem and found one other individual with a very simialar problem on epinions. Com brianpeters. I don't know what is causing this problem. I do know that it happened immediatly after tires were replaced(never before) and that it is very scary thinking you are losing control of your steering.

While driving 70 mph, the left rear tire disintegrated without warning.

All four tires cracked (size#lt26575r16). Please provide the dot#. Nlm.

The only reason there was no accident or injuries is because the vehicles around me were paying attention and got out of the way as I fish tailed across the lanes of I-95. Dt.

While in motion , the steering wheel started to vibrate lightly. Consumer began to separate from traffic when the tread from the tire came apart causing damage to the structure and some wiring on the vehicle.

The right rear steeltex tire on my F-250 blew out while traveling 65mph on the highway. The tires had been rotated and had 19,000 miles on them. I am extremely concerned about the other steeltex tires still on my truck and am not comfortable with any firestone tires on my truck. (tiresize: lt265/75r1).

B. F. Goodrich, p275/60r17; both inside tires are worn out. It feels like vehicle is out of line. Consumer has to constantly keep steering wheel straight. *akconsumer states that there is a conflict between the two companies. (Ford & b. F. ) in which they're blaming each other, but in this case the problem is the tires because the alignment has been checked and there was no problem there. Please refer to summary.

No summary listed on above vehicle.

Consumer stated all tires were dry rotted, the dealer has been contacted (original equipment on 2001 Ford f250 tire size lt265/75r16). Nlm the dot numbers for all four tires are: vnw 81 x m2900.
