| I just received a notice from bridgestone firestone on a tire recall from years ago. i bought a new mazda navajo in 1993 and it had firestone atx tires. they failed way before any recall so i replaced them at my cost with the same. these tires failed also so i replaced them with something else. 2 sets (10 tires) at my cost. when the recall came out i got nothing. in fact, i didn't even own the vehicle anymore. my complaint is...when it takes so long to identify a problem, what about the people who had problems before the recall? they can find me 10 years later, but why don't i have any recourse to get compensated for risking my life and paying out of pocket? *nm | |||

| These tires are supposed to be all weather street tires (per salesman), but these tires cause my car to skid out of complete stop on wet pavement and skid and slide in snow or slush. had an instance where on a windy and wet day where the vehicle slid across a lane and a half of traffic nearly hitting a tanker truck. all indications are that these tires do not hug the road very well and endanger those in the vehicle. note that i replaced 4 of the wilderness style tires with these tires a couple of years ago (and still have a recalled wilderness as a spare). i notified firestone via e-mail and got a complicated, canned response that did nothing to satisfy my problem. i hope that the numbers i pulled off the tire are correct (ltp235/ 75r15 m//s ; 22433ur bmo2528). *ak( dot number: 22433ur tire size: 75 r15 ) | |||
