Three problems related to tire have been reported for the 1997 Mazda B4000. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Replaced my four firestone wilderness all terrain tires because they were failing. The tires belts were peeling from the tires. Now Mazda corp. Usa operations will not reimburse me for the replacement. Can you please help me? this occured Aug. 2000, I mailed Mazda all paperwork. They said denied, wrong purchase date for buying tires. The tires were in layaway, so please contact Mazda(USA). Firestone wilderness a/t p215/75r15.
This size tire is not under recall but should be. These tires are showing tread separation now. Firestone dealers have told me that I should be very concerned about the condition of my tires but there is nothing they can do for me because they do not qualify for replacement.

These tires have always had a vibration even after repeated balancing. They need to be rebalanced after each 3,000 miles. The problem is most noticeable over 55 mph and actually gets worse the longer you drive (especially noticable over 30 miles). The selling dealer everett Mazda is now out of business and the next closest dealer dougs Mazda in lynnwood wa will not take care of the problem. I have taken it to both firestone and everett Mazda when they were in business and the problem still exists. ( dot number: tire size: p26570r15 ).
