| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In the last 4 months i had 2 tire treads separate causing thousands in damage. in both cases 100% of the tread came off. repairs include new left quarter panel, new1/3 of the truck bed, new left front fender, new front bumper, repair of braking system and numerous other parts. the tires were original equipment on my 2001 ford f-350. the tires were firestone steeltex radial a/t, lt265/75 r16, load range e, dot vnw8 1xl 1701. the middle 3" of the second tire that separated appeared that it was never bonded to the casing. i'm sure many people would have over reacted and had much more serious results. the body shop manager at gentry ford (ontario, oregon) said his father had exactly the same tires on his vehicle and two of the four tires also separated.*ak |
