1995 Nissan D21 Tires Problems

“Tread separated from steel belts, and pounded on body of truck, causing $1400 in body damage, then ripped away, leaving only a bare steel belt, which still held air pressure. Reported to firestone dealer, who told me that they had no responsibility for 1995 tires because tires should be thrown out and replaced after 4 years, due to uv damage from the sun; he also told me that I had too much air in the tire. I replaced that and another firestone tire (also vintage 1995) at sears at my own expense ($144 more). ( DOT number: tire size: p195 75r14 )”

“Consumer states tires were loosing air and was having to add air to tires at least twice a week, consumer took vehicle in to mechanic to have tires replaced and inquired to mechanic if there were any signs of tread separation, it was confirmed that one of the firestone (fr486) tires were separating.”

“Pee0 020; consumer was traveling about 65mph on highway and heard a noise, rear passenger side tire tread had separated. He was able to pull over, tire was still inflated. Tire was a firestone, #fr22, p19575r14. There were no injuries, and firestone was notified. The tread separation caused damage to the vehicle.”

“Took vehicle to dealer for an oil change and the tires in front were bald; so dealer replaced the tires with new tires. This was when the vehicle was at 8000 miles. Noticed that at 15000 miles the new replacement tires had start wearing out, and the dealerr said that they will not fix them this time. Consumer wants to know why his tires are wearing out so fast at low mileage. …”
