Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Tread separation and blowout on firestone steeltex tire. The tire was totally destroyed and could have caused a rollover if my travel trailer had not been attached. I was driving 60 MPH on the interstate when a vibration started. I slowed down to 35 MPH. The tread separated and blowout occured before I could find a safe place to stop. The tire was exchanged at a firestone dealer under warranty because the tire wasn't on the recall list. The damage to this tire was more than that of the ford explorer tire tread separations that I have seen in reports. I have digital photos of the tire damage.”
