On 2/25/2000 i bought these tires at sears auto center in findlay ohio. They have not maintained the correct air presure. I have to put air in them every other day . They are not safe to drive on because they are constantly loosing air pressure. I have been back to sears on 4/21/2000,6/14/2000,7/10/2000 and they said they would take a look at them and each time the tires continued to loose air presure. On 9/22/2000 i went to sears again and they said they would look at the tires. I said that you have already looked at them 4 times and they continue to leak and i wanted to know what they were going to do about it. They asked me what kind of tires they were and i told them firestone response. They said that firestone is recalling all of their tires and that i should contact firestone myself. I checked on the firestone web sight and these tires are not included in the recall. None the less they are defective and unsafe. I need some help at getting these tires replaced before they cause an accident. Sears wont stand behind them and they aren't in the recall. Please help!!!!! sincerely neal mackedanz [email protected].( dot number: tire size: p19575s14 )
