| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While on vacation to montana in august 1998, we had a flat tire, which we discovered in the morning after parking the car in a bozeman, mt, motel lot overnight. we replaced it with a spare. when we took the flat tire to our mechanic after we got home to wisconsin, to have it fixed, he said it could not be repaired because the tread had separated. we had to buy a new tire. it was hot (in the 80s) in montana during our trip there and, prior to the flat, we had driven several hundred miles at speeds of 70-75 mph, including driving over a high pass on the idaho border and driving for many miles on unpaved roads. we have not had any further problems, though we do have 4 of the recalled tires currently on our explorer. please note, we bought the explorer used (4 years old), containing four new tires (the recalled models) installed by the dealer. *ak( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 ) |
