1993 Mazda Navajo Tires Problems

“I just received a notice from bridgestone firestone on a tire recall from years ago. I bought a new Mazda Navajo in 1993 and it had firestone atx tires. They failed way before any recall so I replaced them at my cost with the same. These tires failed also so I replaced them with something else. 2 sets (10 tires) at my cost.

All indications are that these tires do not hug the road very well and endanger those in the vehicle. Note that I replaced 4 of the wilderness style tires with these tires a couple of years ago (and still have a recalled wilderness as a spare). …”

“Consumer felt a vibration in front end of vehicle but before he could slow down the right front tire blew out causing him to loose control of the vehicle, hit the median and rolled over 3 times.

“The vehicles tires experienced many failures prior to recall notice, the consumer requested reimbursement but was denied because the replacement tires were purchased prior to january 1, 2000 (firestone atx p235/75r15). Nlm”
