Had the first tire inspected for a nail, screw, any foreign object to identify why a v-shaped whole occurred in my tire that the steel cable was cut and showing. When my right front tire blew out in may 2000, I also had it inspected to identify why my sidewall of my tire blew out so suddenly. Again, there was no nail or foreign object in the tire.

Pe-00-020; tires were purchased for a 1996 Toyota, Tacoma ,15 inch tires, dot number not available tires only have 12 thousand miles on them. Consumer's brother was driving at 50-55 mph, and left frontal tire blewout, causing vehicle to flip, killing the driver.

Even though this size tire is not apart of the firestone recall, the tread came off in a similar fashion to the recalled tires and they had to be replaced. I feel firestones problems may be even more widespred than announced. ( dot number: tire size: p215/70r14 ).

The first failure was written up by the firestone dealer as "splits in tread area". It was splitting around the circumfrence of the tire. I noticed it while washing the truck. The second failure happened while driving. Some stones had washed on to the pavement, due to heavy rain. One of the stones penatrated the tread area, in the same area as the other one had split. It seems to me that this is a very weak area for a truck tire. I did not contact firestone because I figured they would say it was a road hazard. D( dot number: tire size: 31x10. 50x1 ).

The tires are showing signs of separation of the treads. There are cracks around the tread beading. My local firestone dealer says it is due to age and "tire rot" . The tires are in very good condition in all other respects - there is plenty of tread left. ( dot number: tire size: p215/70r14 ).

Prior to recall consumer replaced all four firestone wilderness (225-75r-15) tires, due to tires having a 4 to 5 inch split between the first and second tread, consumer was advised that his tires were not included in recall because because they were not manufactured in decatur IL.
