NHTSA complaint #10025131, filed 2003-07, 30,000 miles“While traveling on the highway at highway speed, passenger side rear tire ( firestone radial atx p235/75r15 ) had full tread separation from tire. Was able to slow and pull off of the side of the highway only to find damage to the right rear of my '95 Ford Explorer. Tread piece had come off the tire and up hitting the lower portion of the fender bending it upward toward the supports for it and then hitting the passenger rear tail light completely breaking it enough to need full replacement. …”

I have since e-mailed twice during the past two months and have not received a response.”
NHTSA complaint #10171561, filed 2006-10“Tread came off of tire while the car was in motion. We looked into purchasing two of the same tires but instead got four new tires from a different company.
