I just purchased a gmc 2004 yukon xl 4 by 4 suv made by general motors. Msrp $48,485. It was equiped with stabilitrak rear differential, heavy duty trailering equipment, 17 inch polished cast aluminum wheels, p265/70r17 als wol bridgestone tires. The gvw rating is 7,200 lbs and a rear axle ratio of 3.73. The max trailer weight is 7200 lbs.stabiltrak uses sensors to read speed, brake pressure,acceleration, steering wheel position, turning rate, and has the computer adjust engine speed and brake pressure to any inividual wheel. My problem is this. The spare tire is a firestone 16 inch tire [different rim size, difference tire pattern]. Since the 4 by 4 goes automatically into 4 wheel drive depending on road conditions, a smaller tire is exremely dangerous with possible injury or death. This is a heavy suv with a high trailering capacity and should never have different size, different make, and different thread designs for the tires. The owners manual warns agaist using different tire sizes when in 4 wheel drive claiming transmission problems will develop with possible injury or death. Since the options on this gmc suv have the computer decide to go from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive, i request a recall for the gmc suv yukon xl with these options. The recall should have the dealer replace the 16 inch firestone spare tire with a 17 inch bridgestone tire that is the same model as the 4 drive wheels. A steel 17 inch rim is also required. Since the spare tire is mounted under the car frame, it was not noticed on delivery of this new 2004 gmc yukon xl suv.

In 2002 my 2001 chevrolet tahoe (@7800 miles)experienced a total (both sides)sidewall failure on one of the firestone wilderness le tires. I filed a complaint with you at that time. I had 2 questions; 1- were there any other reports of such catastrophic failure of this tire? 2- are these tires safe? i received no response from your agency! last week another one of these tires (@28,500 miles)failed(one side wall completely came apart).so, i guess that answers question#2. I've survived 2 of these failures now while many people have been less fortunate and firestone and gm rake in the $. So, now i'm forced to pay for another set of tires or ride out another failure or 2. I'll spend the $ because i care about the safety of myself and my passengers!!!!*nlm
The tires of my 2009 honda crv were all replaced today after only 16,000 miles or about 14 months of using the car. The service advisor that help me told me that they had some customers come to the dealership that had less mileage (like 13k or 14k). I think there is wrong in the designed of the crv. My particular crv, the brake booster was replaced @6,868 miles or roughly 5 months on the road.
