11 problems related to tire have been reported for the 1999 GMC Sierra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at 30 mph the consumer applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer replaced the rotors and pads twice, however the problem recurred. The vehicle also had tailgate and engine problems. The tires were replaced due to thread cracks.
While traveling at speed, tread separation occurred on the left front tire. The air temperature was in the 90's today. My understanding is that this tire size was not included in the firestone recall.

Having the wrong tire pressure decal is a serious problem and so far for over a month GMC does not seem to be concerned! as recived from the dealer my half-ton truck has the wrong tire pressure decal on the ds door. It is an sle VIN 1gtec14v8xz526276 with p255/70r16 tires on it. . The sticker has a VIN of 1gfc29u7xz178268 model c25753 and telling me to inflate my front tire to 50psi and the back 80psi !. The max. Tire pressure is 50psi. Inflating my tires to the decal pressures could cause an explosion. The owners manual tells you to use the sticker to inflate your tires. As a member of sae I saw right off something was wrong and so far GMC does not think this is a big deal. If someone that knows no better on tire inflation were to get a bad sticker like this it would be a big deal. The sticker on there is for a c3500 dually pick-up. I wanted you to help me and make GMC take a look to see if this is not the only problem truck for tire inflation.
If Ford sees fit to recall the firestone wilderness ats they installed, why doesn't GMC? either the explorer really is to blame, or the tires are. If the tires are, why isn't gm recalling their 16 inch wilderness ats?.
Lt 245/75r16 vibrate/shake the entire vehicle at 40-45 mph. You can feel it thru your back. Worse when cold in the am. Balancing by the GMC and firestone dealers have not helped. Firestone have offered a generous prorated trade toward dueller ht 6 ply passenger tire. 50% of tire has worn by tread depth at 18000 miles. Should be a 50000 mile tire. Ride has gotten significantly worse in the last few thousand miles. Still occurs in neutral and appears to come from the rear. No vibration thru the steering column. At higher speeds around 60-65, sometimes is noticeable. Feels very unsafe, especially towing camper and at highway speeds. Tires were made in canada.
