Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had noted that my tires were all four looking bad for no more miles than i had on the car. tires had been rotated each time the oil was changed (3000 miles), since purchasing new. on 08/09/00 went in for oil change and tire rotation and colony tire suggested that it would not be safe for me to be driving with tires as the left rear had three splits and had separated in one place. the others showed cracks. colony tire called firestone to see about consideration for the tires. at that time he was told of the upcoming recall but these were no a part of recall. since that time i have written the bridgestonefirestone co., ford motor co.called cella ford, also colony tire has sent the tires (4) back to firestone.all this to no avail as all they have on their mind is the recall. which doesn't pay for my having to buy four new tires or run the risk of a fatal accident driving in 90+ degree weather. *ak (tiresize: 225-70-15)( dot number: tire size: 225-70-15 )
