WE HAVE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT P265/75R16 114S M/S TIRES ON OUR 1999 CHEV 1/2 TON PICKUP TRUCK. 2 OF THE TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT OUR COST AS TIRES RECEIVED ON NEW VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED BY ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY. WE HAVE ALSO HAD 3 FLAT TIRES. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS APPEAR TO BE DUE TO ROCKS PUNCTURING THE TIRES. WE DO SOME DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS IN OUR AREA AND THESE TIRES APPARENTLY CAN'T BE DRIVEN ON GRAVEL ROADS SAFELY. I WOULD GUESS THAT WE ARE LUCKY TO BR ALIVE WITH SUCH POOR QUALITY TIRES ON THE TRUCK. I WROTE TO FIRESTONE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES ON JANUARY 22, 1999 (FIRESTONE TECHNICAL SERVICES, 2100 INTERNATIONAL PARKWAY, WOODBRIDGE, IL 60517) COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 2 REPLACEMENTS (THE REPLACED TIRES WERE ALMOST NEW THEN) THAT WERE NECESSARY, BUT NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. IN MY OPINION, THESE TIRES SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE RECALL. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE ABOVE IF YOU REQUEST IT. THANK YOU. BOB JOHNSTON, 83 VOYAGEURS POINT, GRAND MARAIS, MN 55604, 218-388-4425, BOBJ@BOREAL.ORG. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/75R16 )
