I did a search on the Firestone site and they are not saying anything. I could use 4 new ANYTHINGS! I had to have my spare broken down and put on the Right Rear due to a torn tread. It had not caused the tire to come apart, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving it on everyday.

A new set of tires complements of Firestone would sure be nice.

These 245's just don't cut the mustard after having 285 BF's on my previous truck. :rolleyes:

Do you have any more details on the so called recall? Tire Size? Production year? I spent a little time searching the web and only found the old recall on the explorer tires.

Called Firestone Consumer Affairs and was told that the recall included a total number of 42 tires and they were all accounted for. All 42 were 235/75R16's and from a certain production lot.

FWIW, at ~36K, my AT's are going strong. They should easily make it to 50K before exposing the wear bars, rotated once at 25K.
