ON 2/21/17 AT 6:25 AM, TRAVELING AT 65 MPH, MY PASSENGER REAR TIRE BLEW OUT AND BECAME DETACHED FROM THE WHEEL. NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE OR VALVE STEM ISSUE. TOOK TIRE REMAINS TO DISCOUNT TIRE IN DURHAM FOR REPLACEMENT. YOKOHAMA YKHTX. P235/75 R15.
PRIMEWELL TIRES SOLD AT FIRESTONE ARE ADVERTISED AS ALL SEASON. I BOUGHT THESE TIRES IN FEB 2010. ON DEC 26TH 2010, WE HAD A SNOWSTORM IN HAMPTON AREA. I HAD TO GO OUT AND FOUND OUT THE TIRES HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRACTION ON SNOW. THESE TIRES ARE DANGEROUS FOR WINTER CONDITIONS. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. ON THE WAY HOME, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 15MPH WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES LOSS TRACTION DUE TO A 15 TO 20 MPH WIND AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH. THE NEXT DAY I REPLACED THE TIRES WITH KELLY EXPLORER TIRES AND HAD NO TROUBLE NEGOTIATING THE SNOW. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE PULLED FROM THE MARKET OR A WARNING GIVEN TO CONSUMERS. THEY ALSO LOSE TRACTION ON WET ROADS EASILY. AS STATED, THEY ARE ADVERTISED AS " TIRES DELIVER ALL-SEASON TRACTION ". *TR

I PURCHASED ALL 4 TIRES IN MARCH 1999. ONLY ONE IS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT THE OTHER 3 ARE SHOWING CRACKS ALONG THE SEAM OF THE OUTER TREAD. FIRESTONE DEALER AND THE 800 NUMBER ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE/REBATE THE TIRES BECASE THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND WANT THEM REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE TRANSFER CASE HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPONENT OF MY CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED THIS SOON AND THIS OFTEN.
