ON 8/15/97 WE WERE TRAVELLING WEST ON I-40 BETWEEN WINSLOW, AZ AND FLAGSTAFF, AZ WHEN OUR REAR PASSENGER TREAD CAME FLYING OFF OUR TIRE. FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY CONTROL THE VEHICLE, REDUCE OUR SPEED AND PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE EXAMINED THE DAMAGE, THERE WAS SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF BODY DAMAGE, BUT THE TIRE, STILL INFLATED, HAD NO TREAD. WE REMOVED THE TIRE, REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE AND MADE OUR WAY SLOWLY TO FLAGSTAFF WHERE WE FOUND A DISCOUNT TIRE CO. AND HAD THE DAMAGED TIRE REPLACED, NOT WITH FIRESTONE TIRE, AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY TO LAS VEGAS THE NEXT DAY. IN NOVEMBER WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE THE OTHER 3 TIRES REPLACE AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY ALL SHOWED TREAD SEPARATION AND WE WERE LUCKY. CURRENTLY, WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE FIRESTONE TIRES AS A SPARE AS IT SHOWED THE LEAST TO NO SEPARATION. THE DOT # I PROVIDED IS FROM THE SPARE. I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBER OFF OF THE ACTUAL DEFECTIVE TIRE. NO REPORTS FILED SINCE THERE WAS, THANKFULLY, NO SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM BOTH TIRE PURCHASES AND ONE FROM FORD STATING THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE MATCHING TIRES SINCE WE'D REPLACED THE ONE, SO THEY COULDN'T DO THE ALIGNMENT REQUESTED THAT WE THOUGHT WAS WHY THE SUV PULLED TO THE RIGHT SO DRASTICALLY. WE WERE TOLD, BY DISCOUNT TIRE CO. REP., THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO THE SEPARATION THE OTHER TIRES WERE EXPERIENCING. WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE AFTER LEARNING OF THE RECALL. WE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT TYPE OF TIRE SEPARATION BEFORE AND THE TIRES APPEARED TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE! THEY WEREN'T ALL THAT OLD NOR WORN. THIS WAS OUR FIRST TRIP IN THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS FRIGHENING BUT WE CHALKED IT UP TO A BLOWOUT TYPE OF INCIDENT AND DID NOT REPORT IT. THE SLIGHT BODY DAMAGE HAS SINCE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF TOO.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL1M0083 TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

SINCE FIRESTONE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES TO REPLACE THE ALL BUT THE SPARE. THE ORIGINAL TIRES CAME FROM CANADA. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN PALM SPRING AND AGAIN THE FIRESTONE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST HAPPENS. THIS SECOND DETREADING OCCURRED AFTER ONLY 27000 MILES. I REPLACED THE SECOND TIRE WITH WILDERNESS BUT I AM CURRENTLY USING THE ORIGINAL SPARE SINCE I DIDNOT WANT TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES TO MATCH.( DOT NUMBER: W1HL TIRE SIZE: 235R15 )
