2001 chevrolet surburban - approx 17000 miles - months ago - received a recall on this surburban for the firestone wilderness tires - took it to dealer and they said that these tires looked okay. However - on 7/10/04 coming back from a 2 mile drive for groceries - (a major street) - heard a huge explosion sound - the truck swerved wildly - we were thrown and tossed but had seat belts and kids in carriers- going 35 miles per hour - my wife and children terrified and crying - and they were tossed side to side - wife…
My firestone tires came apart on my trip to nev. I was in a curve at 70MPH with the cruise control on when the tred came off on the left rear tire throwing us into a skid. The tred riped out the splash gaurd and the fender moulding then hiting the rear quarter and leaving a14 by 8 inch dent. Then about an hour or so later the left front gets a ply seperation. I dont care about the junk tires but if my wife was driving I'm sure someone would of gotten hurt.
