Ram Van 3500 4WD Diesel

  • miles
The set of 5 tires was purchased in March and had 6300 miles on them. The tire separated and blewout leaving the side wall intact and split from top of tire to rim. The seperation pattern is considerably noticable. This blow out caused extensive damage to side panel of truck, ripping out the sidewall plastic cover and mud flap. The sudden failure of this tire has made me very leary of driving with the others. (tiresize: 245 75/R16)

problem #6

Ram Van 3500 4WD

  • miles
These tires have had a vibration in them since day one, the dealer was unwilling to help me, and I recently (since the news hit) started sending requests to Firestone to replace them with some other brand before I get hurt. I have copies of emails and form letter responses from them. They state that the only tires they are replacing are the 15" ones and mine do not apply. I just want new tires from them, before I get hurt or killed. My job requires a minimum of 120 high speed highway miles a day. I also do not have the money to replace them myself, and even if I did, it would be a total loss, as there is no resale value on anything they made.( dot number: Unknown tire size: P265/75R16 )
