Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had to replace all 4 of these tires at a cost of 685 dollars to myself. the tires are coming apart at where the tread meets the sidewall much the same as the firestone tires that are being recalled. i took the vehicle into pauls tires in marion indiana and they would not replace them because fincannon ford did not buy the warranty. i then took them to another kelly dealer here in muncie. they called kelly and kelly denied any other complaints of this and i was charged for the replacemnet of the tires. the first ones to go bad were the front tires. now the passenger rear is doing the same thing. i would think that people should be aware that firestone is not the only manufacturer having this separation problem. had i not have been putting brakes on this car i would not have even noticed that the tires were separating. most people do not look at the tires on their car.
