Tire Dealers/Tire Experts Help Needed

Mortgage Paul · April 30, 2006

I have Firestone Steeltex A/Ts on my truck and they have less than 500 miles.

They are the stock kind on the 2500 HD. 8 ply rating, I think.

They are 3 years old,(I've been running different rims and tires) but always garaged etc in the dark since the last year when I put them on.(Havent been driving it much to save on Fuel) and they have only 500 miles.

I noticed today, the sidewall rubber has all these tiny cracks everywhere. At first I noticed it near one of the seams, but then noticed they are all over.

What can I do? Will Firestone Warranty these since they have so few miles? Can a tire dealer warranty these and just charge me for new mounts and balances?

Is this even a concern?

I've never seen tires look like that, even with tires 6-7 years old.

Firestone had those tire issues a while back if you remember.

Anyone offer any advice on this? Anyone work for a tire place or dealer or anything?

Thanks. Paul

Gentlemen,

Good luck on you problem.

Everytime I have owned Firestone tires I had problems.

I wouldn't feel safe with a Firestone beach ball in the trunk.
