Tire problem #1

My tires "squill" constantly upon any type of turn at a very low speed or turn. The squill sounds like I am turning fast at 80mph when in fact it is just a normal turn. I have taken my Passport to Honda, who says everything is up to "specifications" and the squill is from the heat of the pavement. I then took it to firestone, who says the noise is "very abnormal" and has offered to replace the tires for half price (price less 1/2 of usage). Honda (downey, CA) stated they had experienced the same thing with 3 other Passports and feel this is very normal. I have been driving for 30 years and have never experienced anything like this. My tires squill at every slight turn there is.

Tire Tread/belt problem #2

While driving, firestone dueler 684 tire p245/70r16 experienced tread separation from the rear passenger side, faulty tire also caused loud noise, firestone replaced tire for $20.
