My tires have developed "flat spots" on them. I took the truck to the car dealer and they told me to take it to a tire dealer. The tire dealer told me it was the truck causing the problem and firestone would not cover the defect. I have kept the truck maintained and tires rotated and balanced. I feel either firestone or Toyota should be responsible for my problem. I am concerned that it might be more of a tire problem since there have been problems with the other size of wilderness tires.

I was not driving, I was washing my vehicle when I noticed a long split on the tread surface. The split was about four inches long and it followed one of the tread lugs. I took the tire in to a firestone dealer and ask if it was a defective tire and they said no that it was a road hazard. It was not a road hazard! they made me buy a new tire.

From the day we bought the truck there was a loud noise coming from one pair of our tires. As we rotated them at each 5k mile intravels the noise would move with them. We took the truck to the frontier Toyota dealer in valencia for service on 7/13/00. They charged us for a tire rotation and balance and alignment. Afterwards the noise was unbearable and the truck developed a extreme vibration and shimmy. The tires were on the verge of disintegrating. We again returned the truck to frontier Toyota who replaced the two (2) subject tires. The problem disappered. Our truck is currently running smoother than when we originaly purchased it. All of the associated squeaks and noises from the vibration has also disappeared. We are displeased that the dealer should have known about the tire recall for similar tires and yet chose to charge us for an unneccesary alignment. We believe that there are serious defects in many more tire sizes than have been recalled and ask that you investigate the entire product line of tires from firestone.
