At the end of August, beginning of septemeber, we were sent a letter telling us that our vehicle wasn't involved in the tire recalls. And now with more reports out of accidents involving wilderness A/V tires, I have not been informed as of 12/10/00 that there could be a problem with these tires. We have our truck on a lease and I just wanted to inform someone that noone is making an effort to bring the possibility of an accident with these tires to our attention.

Tires are showing signs of catostrophic failure. The tires are splitting at the tread /sidewall interface. Additionally the tires started to "thump / vibrate, and cause a steering wheel shimmy, and also caused a low speed rocking of the vehicle". I contacted two Firestone dealers, and a Ford dealer, but they refused to replace the tires. I purchased new tires (Michelin ltx) and that eliminated the previously mentioned problems.
