I DID NOT KNOW WHO ELSE TO REPORT MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK SO I AM HOPING I AM NOT WASTING YOUR TIME BY FILLING THIS OUT. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCH IN TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE MY TIRES INSPECTED THEY SAID THEY PASSED INSPECTION, OR IN THEIR WORDS "THEY COULD VISIBLY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM" BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME IN WRITING. AFTER I GOT HOME AND LOOKED AT THE FORM THEY HAD FILLED OUT, IT STATED THAT I HAD "REQUESTED NO INSPECTION - MISCELLANEOUS CHECK". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AFTER SEEING A CLOSEUP OF A FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT TIRE FROM A WRECK ON THE CBS NEWS I NOTICED THAT THE TIRE LOOKED WORN JUST LIKE MY TIRES ARE WEARING. MY TIRES ARE ONLY 2 YRS OLD, I REPLACED MY ORIGINAL TIRES WITH THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS AT IN JULY 1998. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A BIG COVERUP WITH THESE TIRES AND THAT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL1PY038 TIRE SIZE: 235/75 R15 )
