On the Altimas. You guys might want to contact firestone or that # about yours since we have the same tires that are on the Altimas.

I don't think they're the same. Ours a 195/55 16, the recall is on the 205/55 16.

I'm not saying I'm happy with the Firestones, but I don't think the recall will cover it.

Of course, I may be wrong

question:

why would we even want them replaced? hypothetically, let's say it did affect our tires on the 16" SE's. would they give us some $$ to get other tires? they did that with the explorers. i would not want to replace fireturds with fireturds.

firestone authorized the use of the competition. Bridgestone was one and I the other I forgot.

They were both Bridgestones, just different models. Unfortunately, that's not really the competition, Bridgestone and Firestone are the same company.

I guess it doesn't really matter since our tires are not subject to the recall. Let's just hope that they are recalled in the future!

I'd take a free set of Bridgestone RE730's anyday!
Yea, I went to Firestone today. They only recalled the 205 rating not the 195. Bummer.....

Well, every letter that gets sent is one more in the pile. It can't hurt. I was actually thinking about doing something like that....with a cc to Nissan Motor Corp.
