My tires have developed "flat spots" on them. i took the truck to the car dealer and they told me to take it to a tire dealer. the tire dealer told me it was the truck causing the problem and firestone would not cover the defect. i have kept the truck maintained and tires rotated and balanced. i feel either firestone or toyota should be responsible for my problem. i am concerned that it might be more of a tire problem since there have been problems with the other size of wilderness tires.( dot number: w2 tire size: p26575/r15 )

At about 6,000 mile the consumer noticed cracks and chips on all four firestone wilderness at ii tires and in between the treads, consumer also noticed premature wear of all 4 tires. nlm

I was not driving, i was washing my vehicle when i noticed a long split on the tread surface. the split was about four inches long and it followed one of the tread lugs. i took the tire in to a firestone dealer and ask if it was a defective tire and they said no that it was a road hazard. it was not a road hazard! they made me buy a new tire.( dot number: w29v awi tire size: p265/75r15 )

First incident i was on interstate 5 headed to san jose. i was within 15 miles of my destination, no place to change tire, had to drive on it until i reached outskirts of morgan hill, ca and had spare mounted, purchased a winston tire to take place of spare for my 500 mile journey home to long beach, ca. 2nd incident, i was on the ramp of the 91eastbound freeway and had to immediately get off at long beach blvd. contacted aaa whereupon the tire was taken off and the winston (spare) was now put on. took the blown tire to the tire station in carson, ca and they prorated the tire, stating that at the amount of mileage on the vehicle approximately 17,500 i had used up almost 60% apparently, the receipt indicates that they collected 40% of the value of the tire from me, for a total of $32.10 of a so-called $65.99 tire. at this point i am lucky to evidently be alive. i've already replaced the tires at my expense instead of waiting for firestone to get off the dime. i have since written them an e-mail expressing my ...

One tire had a sidewall failure and the other three all split. we replaced all four at our own expense since the dealer said firestone was avoiding settlement on tire problems. this all happened before the news about explorers. i kept three of the old tires as proof. *ak( dot number: tire size: 10.5x31 )
