Coming back home from a trip to niagra fall, our GMC Suburban 1999 rolled over 5 times. One of the tire (driver side front) exploded and right rear back tire shredded. Which caused truck to rollover. We were in little falls, were taken to St. Elizabeth hospital in utica. Our oldest daughter 11 got the most injuries. She has gotten 60 stitches on her face etc. Air bags of the vehicle did not deploy. Wondering why "??"

Tires maintained properly. When towing 8000 lb. Vacation trailer, 80 lbs. Rear, 50 lbs. Front. (mfgr. Spec.). wheels equipped with tire sentry monitoring system which sound an alamr and blinking light on dash if tire pressure is lower than factory setting. While traveling South on hwy. 1999 near bakersfield, ca on a hot July afternoon (103 degrees) while towing 8000 lb trailer at freeway speed, the left rear Suburban tire suddenly began viberating viloently, started to flap, lost tread and the blowout (this all happend very quickly). - submitted claim for tire and damage to vehicle to Firestone and was the claim was denied. They said the tire had been operated for an unknow period of time with insufficient air pressure to carry load (this is not true) and that the failure did not result from a defect in either materials or workmanship. Point of interest: The Suburban has been pulling to the right and I was going to have it aligned, however I replaced all 4 tires with michilins and now the truck does not pull to the right. I since have had the blowntire inspected by a tire dealer and they felt the tire was defective. - my next step is small claims court - however today I see there is a class action lawsuit against Firestone on this very tire.

This tire failed - blew out. Replaced it with the spare and both those tires are wearing in a fashion that no dealer has seen before. I have been to 6 Firestone stores, E-mailed them and everything with no results from them.( dot number: Tire size: Lt24575R16 )

Having dirven a manicured gravel road at 30 mph, distance of 25 miles, @ kananaskis national park in british columbia, all four tires showed gravel puncture/split marks, about 12 on each tire. One of these went through to the air chamber, after driving on the damaged tires for approximately 2800 more miles. Tires were removed and replaced with Michelin. One month ago, costco replaced all 5 firestones with 5 michelins. One is mounted as spare; others are in garage for future use. Firestone was contacted in reno twice. GMC was contacted twice and had possession of damaged tires for 3 weeks. Firestone attempted to reassure customer (age 58) all was ok. "permit my grandmother to travel on these tires." After the air loss, I didn't buy Firestone's reassurance. Firestone has no road hazard guarantee. GMC was not too concerned, and the tires were returned to me and held for a year, until costco recently. Firestone steeltex R4S are too brittle? that is my assessment. Because I acted quickly to replace, they didn't catch me in any but cost and time. I will never buy another Firestone product. GMC is not my friend. You can tell that to george green, the gen. Mgr. At winkel GMC, and see if he now cares! (tiresize: 245 75R 16)( dot number: Tire size: 245 75R 16 )

I have had three (3) explosive blowouts over the past ten months. All the tire failures involved the same type and size tire listed. All three of the tire failures resulted in tread seperation and the last one dented my car and bent the exhaust pipe in half. I was fortunate in all three failures to have no traffic around me and a place to pull off the road to change the tire(s). All three failures were during highway driving and all occured at approximately 65 miles per hour. (tiresize: LT245/75R1)( dot number: Tire size: LT245/75R1 )

On February 3, I took delivery of an 1999 Suburban. The rear driver's tire has 5 punctured holes. Both the Firestone dealer, and the GM customer services representative confirmed that this tire is not offered to the public; Firestone is selling it only to GM for production. I have made phone calls and sent faxes to GM. GM has not secured a tire. This monopolistic practice threatens the safety of the public. The tire should be available to the public.( dot number: Tire size: 245/75R16 )
