| The recent deaths of 62 people driving the firestone 15 tires should also raise the concern that the wilderness 16 tires have the same defects and they will explode. mine did!! firestone is still denying that the 16 tires have a problem. they are still trying to cover up their mistakes. unfortunately, others must die before anything can be done. please send this information to the senate subcommittee that is investigating firestone and ford. they are both at fault for this cover-up since 1992. my phone number is (318) 377-2797 if you have any further questions. thank you.( dot number: tire size: 255 70 r16 ) | |||
