ORIGINAL TIRES ON VEHICLE WERE DUELER 684. REPLACED WITH SAME TIRE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. UNDERSTOOD AT THAT TIME THE DUELER 684 WAS NO LONGER PRODUCED BUT LOCAL FIRESTONE STORE SPECIAL ORDERED LAST 3 TIRES FROM ANOTHER LOCATION'S STOCK SO I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO REPLACE 3 TIRES AND USE MY ORIGINAL UNUSED SPARE. ON 6/12/00 I NOTICED A BULGE ON BACK LEFT TIRE WITH SMALLTIRE SEPARATION. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED WITH SPARE. DURING THE WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR REPLACEMENT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE WAS ON MY SPARE RACK AND TOTALLY DECOMPRESSED WITH HALF OF THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY! LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER (STORE #008842) PRO-RATED TIRE FOR $49.99. TIRE ONLY HAD ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. FIRESTONE REPLACED WITH DUELER H/L P-MET P245/70R16. OTHER TROOPER AND SAME TIRE OWNERS SHOULD ALSO KNOW ABOUT THIS TIRE!! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE DUELER 684'S AND HOPE THESE ARE ALSO RECALLED!( DOT NUMBER: Y7MT TIRE SIZE: P245/70R16 )
