The affinity firestone tires ripped all away around the tread of the tire near the outside wall on the front tires. These hare 80,000 mile tread warranty and these tires were comming apart at 35,000 miles. The tires were properly maintained and were rotated on schedule. These tires should be included in a recall similar to the other currently firestones tires. This issue should not go unnoticed by the NHTSA. We are very luckly that we caught this problem before a failure occured. I have never seen tires come apart like this. Please take action quickly.

This is a 50,000 mile tire that has seperating belts after only 26,000 miles. I first started having problems with these tires around 12,000 miles, but was informed that it was a "balancing" problem. I have spoken with other Odyssey owners who also are replacing these tires due to belt problems. (tiresize: p215/65r16)( dot number: tire size: p215/65r16 ).
Tread separated from tire. I could put my finger between tread and tire. ( dot number: vn2haaa029 tire size: p215/65r16 ).
Vehicle has demonstrated abnormal front end vibration since 3/99 at which time the dealer indicated that " mud" was in the tires causing the vibration. The vibration has continued throughout my ownership of this vehicle. The van has been realigned twice since my ownership ( once with the original 4 factory equipped tire and once with the replacement michelin tires). The front brakes have been repalced at 11,000 miles due to severe wear which warranted the replacement of the rotors and the brake linings as the vehcle was said to be " unsafe" by the service manager. The vibration has continued with abnormal tire wear and " cupping" on both the 4 factory equipped firestone tires and now with the 4 repalcement michelin tires. I have called american Honda on several occasions to report the problem and also to ask for assistance in remedying the problem. The service technitians indicate that they are unable to locate the reason for the abnormal tire wear and vibration, but do acknowledge that they also experience the vibration, as well as see the tires are wearing abnormally. The original factory equipped tire had approximately 13,000-18,000 miles on them. The michelin replacement tires have approximately 2,000-3,000 miles on them. The vehicle had Honda recommended snow tires for the months of January, February, and March 1999, after which the original ties were palced back on the vehicle. The service manager at della Honda has said that "Honda is aware of this problem and feels it is the brand of tire which is incompatible with the vehicle". Upon talking to linda at american Honda she also agreed that if changing the brand of tires would solve the vibration, she was authorizing della dealership to replace the original firestones with the michelin tires. This was done and for approximately the first 1,000 mile there appeared to be very little vibration of the front end, after which the vibration has begun again with no remedy from the car manufacturer.
