These tires are not part of the recall however I have seen many many complaints about this tire size on the internet. Additionally my tires have cracks along the sidewall where it meets the tread. The Ford dealer has acknowledged this as a problem and has my name on a "list" for when Firestone decided to recall these tires. In the mean time how safe am I....what does one do when no one want's to take responsablity ? help (tiresize: 25570R16)( dot number: Tire size: 25570R16 )

My tires were replaced on 7/27/00; just prior to the Firestone recall, therefore, they are not available for inspection. My spare is still with the vehicle, however, and it does not bear the vd mark. My tires were replaced due to tread separation and steel showing as evidenced by my inspection as well as the inspection of the technician servicing my car. I would like to receive full reimbursement for the tires purchased as well as have my spare replaced with the same type of Goodyear tire. (tiresize: P235/75R15)( dot number: Tire size: P235/75R15 )
