What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the rear driver side tire shredded without warning. The contact sustained minor injuries. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to provide a resolution. There was a NHTSA recall # 00t005000 which pertains to the tire tread. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. The tire manufacturer was firestone. Tire line: steel belted tire. Size: p265/75r16.
On 6/12/03 I experienced complete tread separation on a firestone steeltex lt 265/75r16e tire while traveling northbound on I-75 near riverview, fl. The tire was mounted on the front left of my 2001 ford f250. As the tread separated it damaged the truck body around the wheel well, and caused me to momentarily lose control of the vehicle. Once I brought the vehicle to a stop, I discovered that the tire was still inflated, but that the tread had completely peeled off.
