Anyone have a link to these tires? Or a personal pic. I'm lookin at buying a used set in GOOD condition (seller says) But he has no pics and tires are about 5 hours away. Would like to have a peak before I drive that far to say "Hmmm nope, not aggressive enough" I have no idea if is A/T or what so need all possiblitlies.
Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't buy them. Remember the huge recall on firestone tire on the ford explorer? There were about 14 cases of these tires blowing on ford explorers. Many people tried to get firestone to recall the tires, but they won't.

I don't think there was ever a case of the 15"ers blowing just the 16's. It's too good a deal to pass up 3 like new, one worn bout half way all for $350 CDN.
I just need to see what they look like first before I make a trip to get em.

I don't think there was ever a case of the 15"ers blowing just the 16's. ;D A little bassackwards here. All the problems were w/15's. BUT, if you look @ the jamb decal, the fact. press. was 26. The Exploder was a heavy vehicle. 26psi. @ 75+mph doesn't sound good to me. You can probably still link to Firestone or call a store w/the DOT# & find out if these were recalled. Later... |

HUH on my F150 it was the 16's, and all the posts I read on the tire said 15's. either way I'm sure that since this was a few years ago they would be fixxed by now if still sold. Then agaiin he could have had these in his basement since then.
I have a choice of them or Apache A/T's but they are at 45% wear, same price. I have no idea what they look like either. Was hoping the Widetracks were a bit more agressive than an A/T.
Any one have links to pics of either?
