I have a set of Goodyear Wrangler ap tires on my vehicle. They are suppose to have a traction rating of a, but I believe this is incorrect. Based on my experience with these tires over the past 24,000 miles, traction is very poor with these tires on wet and dry surfaces. They break traction very easily, even during slow acceleration starts. Sudden stops on wet surfaces are just as poor.

While towing my enclosed car hauler trailer, with a classic car inside, my right rear tire on my F250 Super Duty pickup exploded. I was running 70 mph at the time in Alabama. I did not wreck but I really had to fight to keep it on the road until I could stop. The tire is in two pieces. The Firestone store in pensacola, Florida said the tire is not one of their recalls. However, I understand these same tires on the Excursion are. Why are the same tires, when installed on F250 pickups, not included in the recall? I will say, regardless of the outcome of this, I will never, never buy another Firestone tire of any kind. In fact I hope that Firestone is put out to pasture forever.

My daughter was driving down the road at 65 on a rainy day going to college registration in nacodooges Texas and the truck just started to spin. She went across the median nearly stiking on coming traffic on the divided highway. The police were called and she was pulled out. She called about a hour later in a panic again saying it had happened again. She was going down the highway and the truck just started to spin. This time a driver pulled her out and said her tread was bad. This was a 5 month old vehicle. This was Sunday so on Monday I called the dealer said my daughter was going down the road and the truck spun out twice and asked him if he had heard of any tire problems with the Ford and I was told by the service manager david adamceck he had not heard of any tire problems with the Ford. My daughter would no longer drive her 5 month old vehicle. I replaced the tires with michelains before I knew of any problems with the firestones so I no longer have the tires. I am now upset that my daughter came close to a serious accident if not fatal and Ford knew those tires were bad. I called Ford to register a complaint and was told this not part of the recall and nothing they could do. There only concern was anybody injured but because my daughter flew across a divided median and don't hit the semi but missed it by a few inches that all is well. I am disappionted after seeing Ford president on tv that they are not more concerned and that they wouldn't take care of a obvious problem they are are having. Lets not let somebody have to get killed to fix this problem thomas G. goodwin
