TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

ADDITIONAL TO ODI NUMBER 732801, NOT ONLY THAT THE SIDE WALL, WHERE THE TREAD MEETS LOOKED FUNNY, THE TREAD OF THE TIRES STARTED TO WEAR FUNNY. THIS ALSO GOES AS WELL AS THE 2 FRONT TIRES, WERE THE TREAD WAS STARTING TO WEAR FUNNY, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TIRES ALL OF THE TIRES WHERE THE DOT NUMBER IS LOCATED THAT LOOKED FUNNY, AND IF I WOULD HAVE KEPT THEM ON MY EXPLORER SPORT WOULD HAVE HAD A BLOW OUT TOO. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED IN THE SPRING EVERY YEAR. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XHL359 TIRESIZE: 235/R75/15)

THIS IS A SPARE TIRE, ON MY FORD EXPLORER SPORT WHERE THE SIDEWALLS, AND WERE THE TREAD OF THE TIRES MEETS, STARTED LOOKING FUNNY. ALSO THE TREAD OF THE TIRE WAS WEARING FUNNY. IF I WOULD HAVE KEPT THIS AND IF I HAD A BLOW OUT I WOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER BLOW OUT WITH THIS SPARE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XHL319 TIRESIZE: 235/R75/15)

THE 2 TIRES ON THE BACK OF MY FORD EXPLORER SPORT WHERE THE SIDE WALLS, AND WERE THE TREAD OF THE TIRES MEETS, STARTED LOOKING FUNNY. IF I WOULD HAVE KEPT THOSE TIRES ON MY EXPLORER SPORT IN ABOUT 3 TO 5 MONTHS THEY WOULD HAVE STARTED TO SEPARATE. THEREFORE I FEEL IT IS BEST TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. SO I WENT UP TO GOODYEAR'S TIRE AND ORDER 5 NEW TIRES FOR MY EXPLORER SPORT AND HAD THE FIRESTONE "WILDERNESS AT" TAKING OFF. I WILL TAKE THE WILDERNESS AT TIRES UP TO FIRESTONE THIS WEEKEND (09/30/00).*AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XHL359 TIRESIZE: 235/R75/15)
