| There are metal lines positioned over the left rear tire. the debris and water from the road caused these metal lines to rust and leak, causing antifreeze to drop onto the tire. the consumer is concerned that the antifreeze could cause the tires to lose traction while driving. *ak | |||

| During a trip in august of 2000 i had the right rear tire tread separated in doing so it took out the floor/cabinet/wiring/ exhaust/ fender, and flares, etc.then again on 6/08/01 within 150 miles, i lost 3 more tires due to tread separation. this time it could have been serious,when tread separated it took out the holding tank along with the fuel tank fill tube and vent tube. if anything it would have sparked the whole thing could have gone up in flames.these were at speeds of 65mph and under and on some very hot days.all tires had around 11/32 of tread left on them.i'am very concerned that this could happen to someone else and cause some injury or death. *ak (tiresize: 225/75r16) | |||

| The tire started tread delamination. an 8 inch strip peeled away from the tire. i stopped, changed to the spare, and the next day replaced all the running tires with michelin tires. the spare is still from the original set of firestone. (dot number: vnii8ia tiresize: lt245/75r1) | |||
