| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While travelling from eloy, az. to calif. on an outing, the left rear tire tread seperated from the carcass. the tire did not lose any air . i changed it, putting on the spare (also the same brand and size). on the return trip, about 3 days later, the right rear tire did exactly the same thing. iborrowed a spare from a friend and continued home. i contacted sears, but they told me they wouldn't do anything without the original sales reciept, which i couldn't find. i bought 4 new tires and put the remaining 2 on a small utility trailer. i put the spare back where it belonged, and about 4 months later i noticed that the entire tread was peeling away from the carcass. the tire wasn't even being used and it seperated. i don't know who made these tire for sears. in light of the current problems with firestone tires, i am curious if there has been other problems with this particular tire. in 1977, while i was a police officer, ihad a tire totally seperate and blow out, causing loss of control and totalling the car. these tires were shell steel radials made by firestone. two weeks after the accident, the leaa in washington sent out a memo warning all agencies to restrict speeds of vehicles with these tires to less than 70mph. just curious as to manufacturer of these tires.( dot number: ckhh52c125 tire size: p225/75r15 ) |
