Traveling south on TX 130 near manor at 65 mph. Bright cool, sunny weather, dry road. Right rear tire exploded. Tread came off in one long strip, which thrashed the car. Was able to safely pull car off road, but damage to right rear panel, wheel well, and fuel filler estimated at between $1500 and $3000. The car had been vibrating at highway speeds for a while, but I suspected a suspension problem rather than a tire problem. Now I notice all tires appear rotten on outside; they had not been holding air well for several months. Have replaced all 5 tires. Car: 1999 Nissan Frontier pickup. Tire: wilderness ht, p215/65r15 95s, dot #w2vf nna 129. Tire was original equipment with truck, 42000 miles on it, tread wear minor. Complaint filed with firestone, and tire sent to them at my expense. They refuse to accept any responsibility, and claim low inflation and age are the causes of the problem (not surprising since the tire needed inflating every week). They want me to pay to have tire sent back to me, but hell will freeze over before that or before I stop telling anybody willing to listen about the experience and firestone's response.

My 9 year old son and I took a trip up north to sd. On our first day out approx. 70 miles away form the border the driver side tire's tread flew off causing my 2000 nissian truck to vere in front of an oncoming semi truck. We avoided the collision and removed the damaged tire. This was the second time that it has happend. This time we were moving at a speed of 70 miles per hour and the tread came back on the truck, scratched the front quarter panel with the steel sticking out, tore of the metal bar holding the fender on, tore the fender half way off and dented the underside ofthe driver side door. About a month earler the passanger side tire did the same thing. I was moving at a lower rate of speed and no damage occurred that time. The next day we replaced the tire with a used one from a local tire shop and continued our journey. Two days later on our vacation I lost the rear passanger tire in the same fashion. We again made it to a tire shop where they replaced the tire with a used tire. By this time someone had told me that the firestoen tire were recalled because of the reason that the tread comes off.
