FOR THE RECORD I WANTED TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAD ONE WILDERNESS AT III COME APART ON ME AT APPROX 70 MPH IT WAS A REAR TIRE AND CAUSED NO ACCIDENT BUT THE SEPERATED TREAD DID DO DAMAGE TO MY FENDER. THIS OCCURED BEFORE I HAD ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE RECALL, SINCE THEN I FOUND A SECOND TIRE THAT WAS CRACKING AROUND THE BEAD. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD OVER 50% TREAD LEFT ON THEM. ITHESE TIRES WERE NOT LISTED AS THE DEFECTIVE TIRES BEING RECALLED BUT THE ONE CAME APART JUST LIKE THE REPORTS HAVE STATED, AND THE SECOND ONE DID NOT APPEAR SAFE IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT PROBLEMS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME I DO HAVE RECORDS ON THE EXCHANGE OF THE FIRST TIRE AND THE SUBSEQ
