In August of 1999 I had a tire separating on my Explorer, I replaced all 4 tires in the same month at Firestone. I received a recall notice the following year.I turned in the required info and was denied because it happened before Jan 2000. I guess if I had be injured or killed Firestone would accept my claim of $324 for the tire replacement expence. I am not happy with there responce. (dot number: Vdhl tiresize: P235/75R15)
