I was in the Idaho mountains on a day trip when both rear Firestone at tires went flat. I changed the most flat of the two and made it into a town on the spare and a flat tire. I put air in the flat tire and made it home. I contacted GM and they told me that the Firestone at tires on their trucks were different than on Ford and that their's were safe (yea right). I went to a tire retailer in my area and had all the Firestone Wilderness AT tires (including the spare) removed from my truck and new tires (not Firestone) installed. The tire installer verified that the problem was tread separation. I just wanted to ask you to please recall these killer tires. I was lucky and didn't kill myself and my family on our outing because of them. All it cost me was $500 for new tires to replace the garbage Firestone Wilderness AT tires that Chevrolet installed on my truck. (tiresize: P26575R16)

While driving on the freeway at 75miles per hour the left rear tire had a blowout, the tire completely peeled apart. It took my husband about 1mile to come to a stop, during which time the tire caused damage to the paint, wheel well, tore off a mud flap, and bent the steel rim. The vehicle is a work truck so my husband purchased 4 new tires immediately the truck was vibrating because of the bent rim so he also purchased new rims. Please let me know if anything that I might collect from Firestone. I know his tires are not on the recall"?"but it came apart just like all the tires you see on tv and the internet...thanx in advance jo lachance. (dot number: Vn11bfc tiresize: LT245/75R1)

I had a Firestone Wilderness AT tire in the size of P265/75R16 blow the entire sidewall out at a speed of aprox 55 with about 2000 miles on the tire. The auto was a Chevrolet Silverado, the tire looked lik it was cut around the sidewall just like the tires I saw on the recall of 15 inch. (tiresize: P265/75R16)( dot number: Tire size: P265/75R16 )

Tire walls separated due to partial deflation from slow leaking puncture/ tire was not driven on the sidewalls complete deflation occurred while parked....tire experts and insurance agent examined and agreed that the tire was not driven on sidewalls and rim....the tire developed severe bulges on sidewalls and in tread upon reinflation......tire is still in my possession for examination.

Despite repeated alignments and balancings, the tires vibrate, the vehicle pulls, and wet and snow performance is poor compared to other oe tires GM has used in the past, I.e. Goodyear. I have discussed this problem with national tire and battery, and they are of the opinion that all Wilderness AT tires are defective and should be recalled. I have found many other owners of Chevy trucks will similar experiences, and there are many people on the internet that have documented blowouts. It is time to act and get Wilderness AT tires off the road with a complete recall. Thank you for investigating this matter. James cilecek, md. Cjaimesw@hotmail.com.

Tires had made a lot of noise from begining after buying vehicle. Currently, tires were wearing from inside out where aligment could not fix problem. Consumer did not give any inormation regarding tire type or size. Oil light illuminated, dealer put in a new valve, oil problem still continued, oil was found covering and underneath the chassis. Consumer states windows rattle.

Truck was fine for first two months then small vibrations. Dealer said two bad tires and changed them (no better). Two weeks later dealer checks tires and says three bad tires. Changed all four (no better). Now dealer wants me to pay for an upgrade to michelins to solve the problem. Why should I have to pay for GM`S cheap tires?

On September 8, 2000, I purchased a new truck from ken dixon of waldorf, md. After a day or so of driving, I noticed the vehicle shimmered. When I took it back to the dealer it had less than 500 miles on it. I was informed that GMC does not allow rebalancing of tires until 500 miles has been reached and was directed to Firestone. Firestone balanced the tires, however the shimmering still occurs at highway speed. (dot number: None tiresize: LT2457516)
