| At about 25,000 miles, i noticed unusual tire wear. it looks as if someone took a chisel and chipped off pieces of tread. front and rear tires. the pieces missing range in size from 1/8 - 1/2 dia. the tires have been rotated per manufacturer specs. properly inflated at 44 psi cold. driven on paved surfaces, and at moderate speeds. i went to the firestone at 5499 n. high st., worthington oh 43085, and the employee, after treating me like a moron, informed me that the recall only was for certain 15 tires. he then insisted that it was normal tire wear. i strongly dissagree, and ask that my tires be included in the recall. i do not feel safe driving my truck. how can i send you a photo, or mold to show you why i am concerned? please respond.( dot number: w273wma tire size: p265/75r16 ) | |||

| Goodyear wrangler rt/s tire (p265 75 r16) experienced sidewall failure, the dealer stated that all tires needed to be replaced since the consumer used them off road, the consumer feels since this truck is 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive tires should have came equipped with the vehicle when it was bought. *slc | |||
