Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While on a driving vacation with my family, i found all 4 firestone steeltex 265-75 a\t tires on our 2000 ford excursion to be experiencing sidewall failure.2 of the tires were near immediate failure and the other two were starting to fail.i make it a habit to check my tires and vehicle closely whenever i fuel my vehicles up, and this was the only thing preventing what could have been a very serious accident ( i was towing a 24 ft boat at the time).
