Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS TIRE WAS INSTALLED ON A BOAT TRAILER IN 1990, WHEN DRIVING TO THE COAST ON 7/25/2000, GOING 55 MILES PER HOUR, WE NOTICED A SUDDEN IRREGULAR FEELING TO THE TRAILER. THIS WAS A SINGLE AXLE BOAT TRAILER, HAULING A 16 FOOT DORY BOAT. WHEN CHECKING THE BEARINGS BEFORE LAUNCIHNG THE BOAT INTO THE WATER, (@ 30 MINUTES AFTER FEELING THE IRREGULARITY) THE TIRE WAS DISCOVERED TO BE MISSING ALMOST ITS ENTIRE TOP LAYER. IT WAS STILL HOLDING AIR PRESSURE. AT THE TIME WE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT HAD CUT EVENLY INTO THE TIRE, ON BOTH SIDES THAT PEELED THE CAP. WE CONSIDERED OURSELVES LUCKY THAT WORSE DID NOT HAPPEN. WE DID NOT THINK ANYTHING ELSE OF IT UNTIL THE RECALL OF FIRESTONE TIRES. IT IS NOT ON THE CURRENT LIST, AND WAS PURCHASED 10 YEARS AGO, BUT BEING IT CAME FROM THE SUSPECT PLANT, THIS PROBLEM MAY BE DEEPER THAN CURRENTLY KNOWN. WE STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND RIM, IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN PURSUEING THIS FURTHER.( DOT NUMBER: VDM5IE7083 TIRE SIZE: P195/75R15 )
