I originally had the atx's on my explorer. once the recall went into effect, i went to a firestone car care center in nashville (store # 028150) and they replaced them with the bridgestone duelers. i drove to work afterwards going down the interstate when i noticed a shaking in the vehicle. i had just had a balance and front end alignment to go along with the replacements. so the next day, i took it back and explained the problem to the manager. it was busy and at the end of the day so i said i would bring it in the first thing saturday morning. they placed my tires on the balancing machine and i watched as we all noticed a wobbling in all the tires. the manager explained to me that the cause of this had something to do with when they manufacture the tires, they have a light and heavy spot in them. if that heavy spot is off or extremely heavy, it can cause a wobble. nevertheless, i asked what am i to do now. the manager stated that i would now be placed on the replacement list. i would prefer to go to a ford dealership now, but since i already had a replacement done, i doubt if they will replace them again. this is where i need your help. i have all the documentation stating the defective replacement tires. can you send me a letter authorizing a dealership to replace them again? or can you help me out in any way or suggest what altenatives i have? also, i can't understand why i had to repurchase the lifetime warranties on the balance and road hazzard when i had them originally on the atx's. the atx's were a recall, not tires that wore down from normal usage where a warranty would expire. i know the bridgestone duelers were not included with the recall, but they were my replacement tires, and they too were imperfect and acknowledged by the firestone car care center. as a consumer, i have done what was directed by your administration. as a consumer and a state government employee, i have gained nothing by doing what i was directed to do. help me!  view

I have not had a failed tire yet. i am trying to avoid a catastrophic failure from occuring. i have p255/70r16 firestone wilderness at tires on my 1999 ford expedition. i have come across an internal ford memo from www.safetyforum.com that has ford instructing their service departments and dealers overseas (in the middle east and north africa) to replace all (5) 16 inch widerness at tires on their ford vehicles. the memo states that this is due to the possibility of interior tire degredation and tread separation. i would like an answer as to why this memo does not apply to the same tires on the same ford vehicles in the us.( dot number: tire size: p255/70r16 )  view
