A big tire recall is under way!  Firestone is recalling 127,000 fr380 p235/75r15 tires sold in 2007 and 2008.   Apparently, the tread base of these Costa Rican tires was not made correctly and could cause tread separation and loss of control of a vehicle after extended use....so far, no incidents have been reported.  Firestone will be notifying you about free replacement, which includes mounting and balancing or you can call Bridgestone at 800-465-1904.
