Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We had a tire blowout with tread separation, and learned from the dot numbers that the tires on our motorhome came from the same plant that the recalled tires have come from, and we are very concerned because of the tread separation that this is not an isolated incident, and that it may happen to any of the other tires. we have gotten no help from firestone or ford motor company, all that they will say is that these are not the tires on the recall list. well, we are well aware of that, but, are they safe? if the whole factory was being shodily run, are my tires safe?( dot number: vdil tire size: 225/75r16 )
