| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have 3 usa made 31x10.50r15lt m/s load range b and one canadian made 31x10.50r15lt m/s load range c (don't know why firestone dealer did not provide all load range b's) tires that all have a crack approximately 60% of the way up the sidewall that runs completely around the tire. the cracks are deepening over time. i bought these tires new and they have been maintained by firestone approximately every five thousand miles per the warrenty. i have maintained my truck meticulously and tire pressure is checked at least twice monthly. i have seen this crack on many wilderness at iii tires in parking lots. i think these tires should be recalled also. http://www.bridgestone-usa.com/news/00815b.htm shows 137 claims against this tire as of 8-22-00 already and doing a straight ratio with the recalled tires equates to approximately 6 deaths on this tire. why is it not included in this recall? not enough deaths yet? as a minimum they should be replaced free of charge under firestones workmanship and materials warranty.*ak (tiresize: 3110.5r15l)( dot number: tire size: 3110.5r15l ) |
