Front left tire had a thumpthumping sound. Took to dealer, and dealer said tire tread was separating.
I own a 1996 ford explorer. On may 9, 2006, i took it to a ford dealer for a safety inspection (the multi-point inspection report card as recommended by ford motor company) all four tire were marked on the tread depth scale in the green 7/32 or greater box. Later that same evening after school let out i proceeded on a trip. I left tucson, az around 5:30 to 6:00pm got no farther than yuma az when the tread from my right rear tire completely separated from the steel belt underneath tearing the rear right bumper off, the bumper area underneath the door was hanging on the ground and big black circular marks were on the back passenger door where the tread had hit during separation. The event itself was horribly frightening for us as well as my 3 children. Thank the lord we did not wreck and there was no turnover of the vehicle. We were able to change the tire with a spare but the damage was already done to the vehicle. The tire was a firestone wilderness ht p225/70r15. I went back to the ford dealer who had safety checked the tire and he said it was a defect in manufacturing and had no way of knowing when these things would happen. The dot code on the tire is w2uu ipo .99.i contacted firestone who said the last 2 numbers would be the date the tire was manufactured. My questions are is this a common thing for these types of tires and what is the life span of that tire. Shouldn't i have been made aware that the tire was 7 yrs old or does it matter how old the tire is. I bought new tires (certainly not firestones) but i feel like i should have been made aware of the age of my tire if its simply checking a manufacturing date. That way i could have chosen to not put my families life in jeopardy!!
