DRIVING CHEVROLET E3500 VAN WHEN LEFT REAR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FIRESTONE STEELTEX RADIAL R4S SEPARATED AND DAMAGED VAN. BODY DAMAGE TO VAN. RIGHT REAR TIRE HAS CRACK AROUND TREAD LIKE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS. *NLM
WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. RIGHT REAR TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM WHEEL. FIRESTONE, P215/70R DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK FIRESTONE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. *SLC
CARS ARE BEING SHIPPED FROM FACTORY WITH 17" TIRES AND ONLY 16"SPARES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. USING THE SPARE TIRE ( ROTATING AT A FASTER SPEED THAN THE OTHER TIRES ) COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALL OTHER MANUFACTURERS USE THE SAME SIZE SPARE AS ALL OTHER TIRES ON THE VEHICLE!
