“Dt: 2001 Nissan Frontier. The consumer states the tread on driver's side rear tire came off while driving on i17 at 55 MPH. The tread went around the axle and caused damage. This was the original tire on the vehicle. The tires had been properly maintained. The vehicle shook, and the consumer heard a bump. She pulled over. The spare tire was put on, and the tire was taken to the dealership. The dealership stated she needed to speak with firestone. Firestone stated she had to file a complaint with them. The tire size is p225/70r15. …”
NHTSA complaint #10137093, filed 2005-10, 51,157 miles“Now I have worked in the tire business in the past and I came to the conclusion that every brand has its faults. I have seen separations of all kinds in every brand. My uncle always bought a brand ( cheap ) brand that he just constantly had replaced under warranty and he loves it. I guess getting new tires before they wear out is okay but I do want them to last a little longer than 3 months and then there is the reliability/ safety factor. I was looking at the other three tires on my truck that had not been replaced and I noticed a bulge in the side wall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10147137, filed 2006-01“No special event. Belts slipped in one tire and other three tires declared out-of-round at 16,000 miles. Have warranty replaced slipped tire at 50% cost of new tire, which was 31% higher cost than original purchase. Will need to replace other three tires at warranty cost.”
