I would never buy another set. I had 2 replaced under warranty for tread separation, no problem there, but the problem I bought 2 more because I ruined the front after putting on tie rod sleeves and not getting them lined up properly, to make a long story short the last 2 I bought were out of round and created a vibration, took it back to the shop and they said it was a bent rim. Five months later I got new rims, had Discount tire(bought them from a Firestone store) mount them on the new rims and they pulled me back to show me on the balancing wheel that they were noticeably out of round. took it back to Firestone and they first told me they discontinued the MT, but would adjust me into a new set. I told them they had no other tires I liked. I went home and found them on tire rack, went back to Firestone store told them thye had them on tire rack, and they said they would call and get a couple from tire rack. I Told the guy twice while he was ordering them to get black letters, so they would match my other two. Two days later they call me and say the tires are in, so I went to get them installed, and noticed 2 white letter tires sitting behind the counter, and they told me it would be 3xx.xx dollars, I said no they would be free, there response was you have used those tires four six months, so I told them they were out of round from day one and your manager told me my rim was bent. When it was all said and done I told them I was on around ten different truck forums and whenever it came up I would steer people away from their products every chance I get. The tires will be wore out inside of a year after witch I will go with the cooper STT, heard a lot of good things about them. I am not one of those people that try to get something for nothing, I just think when you shell out over 1600 in tires from some one they should stand behind their product. I guess there was no real way to make this story short, for that I apologize.
