G’day,
I did a Google search for Firestone Steeltex Radial R4X and what I found
wasn’t pretty! From what I can tell the Steeltex P range were the ones on
the Ford Explorers. I also found a few examples of the LT range that had
failed.
I couldn’t find out if they were steel belted sidewalls or not.
If they are steel belted sidewalls and the pressure has dropped in storage
to 50 pounds it might be a good idea to have them checked.
Also Mike stated his tires are 2-3 years old, however, was that from the
date of purchase or from the data on the tire itself.
