Please advise re: Wilson nc Wilderness AT recall possibilty - per info available, that I have been able to obtain, wilson manufactured tires are even more likely than those from Decatur to experience tread separation problems but as of yet do not appear to be recalled. Why not? I am driving on dot W2... serial tires and would like to be added to any distribution lists on the ongoing investigation on a recall of all Wilderness AT tires and further statistical information on the wilson location. Thank you. (dot number: W2 tiresize: P235/75R15)

On 09/14/00 I left my house and entered my vehicle, to run errands. Upon pulling out of my driveway, I noticed that my tires were slipping. Upon getting out of the car, I noticed I had a flat tire. I called a friend to change my tire. Once the tire was off the vehicle, I began looking for the reason the tire went flat. My friend and I both soon realized that my tire was flat because the tread was beginning to separate from the tire. I still have the tire in my garage. Thankfully, no one was hurt. I have contacted Firestone, only to be told that my tires were not included in the recall. It appears to me that the same thing is happening to my tires that happened to the tires being recalled. I am now afraid to drive my car with these tires on it. Being a full-time college student, I need to drive my car. I am not in a position to afford the extra cost of new tires even if I may be reimbursed sometime down the road. Firestone will not help me. I'm hoping you can do something for me. Thank you very much for your time. (dot number: W2hl tiresize: P235/75R15)
