We were driving on the garden state parkway on Friday 7/06/2001 when we first started to hear a sound coming from the right rear of the car. The sound worsened as we went faster. We were driving home the following Sunday and decided to get the sound checked out as it continued to get louder each day. We managed to get it to the shop where it was determined that the tread was coming loose from the tire. The very next morning the tire went flat. When it was removed, the tread came completely off. I consider ourselves fortunate in light of what has happened in the past to the Explorer owners with Firestone tires. I would like to know if other complaints have been filed regarding this type of tire and if there is an avenue to get the remaining tires replaced at the cost of the manufactuer. Thanks for any help you can give me. (dot number: W27J tiresize: P815/65R14)

Because of reports I checked my car, the tread separation was obvious. I have replaced the tires.( dot number: Tire size: 185sr15 )
