NHTSA complaint #10210220, filed 2007-11“These tires haven't actually failed but they are absolutely the worst hydroplaning tires I have ever owned. At 40 MPH on straight roads you feel like you're going to lose control. I bought a set to put on our Jeep Cherokee 2 weeks before the recall,although I didn't purchase the recalled size. I also have a set of the steeltex at on a ford f-250 pickup I purchased new and they are worthless on wet roads also. (tiresize: lt23575r15)( DOT number: tire size: lt23575r15 )”

The consumer ran a safe distance and watch the vehicle burn because there was nothing he could do. The fire department arrived shortly after and extinguished the flames.
