“Fire stone steeltex tire not covered by latest recal. Tires are comming appart at 30k miles. Large peices of rubber missing from tire. Dealer will not replace under tire warrantee. I think that because of the dealer/manufacturer's refusal to admit that these issues are related to the tires and not the use you are getting inaccurate data about the number of defects in these poor quality products.”
