I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HYWAY AT 65MPH. THE TREAD ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE CAME OFF. THE TIRE DID NOT EVEN GO FLAT. IT DESTROID BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER FENDER. THE TRUCK THAT I WAS DRIVING IS AN 1994 F250 4X4. THE TIRE WAS A FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL A/T LT245/75R 16
I HAVE HAD "BULGES AND CRACKS ON SIDEWALL OF MOST TIRES I HAVE HAD ON THIS TRUCK, ORIGINAL OR REP[LACEMENT ONES. USUALLY A OIL CHANGE GUY WILL SHOW ME THE PROBLEM, AS USUALLY ON INSIDE DRIVERS REAR. NOTE I PULL 5TH WHEEL RV'S OCCASIONALLY AND DID NOT CHOOSE TO COMPLAIN UNTIL NOW. MY COMPLAINT IS ON JULY 2, 2000 ON A DESERET HIGHWAY ABOUT 11 AM I HAD TREAD SEPARATION ON DRIVERS REAT TIRE. I DID NOT SAVE ANY INFO FROM ANY OF THESE TIRES THAT I HAD REPLACED, BUT I HAD A CA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER HEAR THE BLOW OUT AND SEE ME PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. HE CALLED HIS DISPATCH WHO SENT A TOW TRUCK TO CHANGE TIRES. I SAVED THE SEPARATED TREAD BUT DISPOSED OF IT UPON GETTING A REPLACEMENT TIRE. BUT THEY LOOKED JUST LIKE THE TV PHOYTOS OF THE RECALLED FIRESTONE TIRES. THE TOW TRUCK COST ME $165.00 CASH TO DRIVE TO DESERT AND PUT ON MY SPARE.
