The tires have blown while driving on highways. The clutch problem is a recurring one. 3 to 4 times a day the clutch pedal stays at the bottom of the travel distance or only comes half-way back up. The transmission also does not shift smoothly. (tiresize: lt23585r16)( dot number: tire size: lt23585r16 )

Tire did not "blow out" or make loud noise to indicate a sudden puncture. While making initial entrance onto two mile long benicia bridge the driver heard a "flapping" noise which got louder. Since i could not stop on bridge safely, i slowed speed and was "shepherded" to end of bridge by a anonymous semi-truck driver who saw the tire falling apart. I replaced tire with spare when safely off the bridge. As a result…

I contacted my ford dealer and was told the warranty didn't cover tires but to go to firestone to possibly get an adjustment. The…

This may be important on finding out why these tires are blowing. One of my tires blew out. But on the other two the valve stems were leaking air after driving a short distance (each at different time). When we stopped the truck we noticed the tire leaking air and had a flat in a matter of minutes (no we didn't hit or run over anything in the road). This leaking valve stems have made me believe that is why…

The front tires on my vehicle have indentions in the tread. I took the truck to a firestone dealer to inquire what the problem was and if these tires were being recalled or not. The service man said it appeared as if the belts had broken loose in the tire. The manager came out and said that it was not a tire defect, my front end was out of line. (even though my vehicle does not pull to either side) these decisions…

I would not have considered contact had not the other firestone tires shown a problem. My vehicle came with the firestone steeltex r4s tires. I changed them after about 18000 miles because they were so scary on wet pavement or snow. Since then i have been told firestone used too hard a compound in order to get extra mileage. I have spoken with my ford agency and noticed the model type for that tire is no longer the…
