Consumer Description

ON SUNDAY, JUNE 1ST, WHILE RETURNING FROM A FISHING TRIP AND TOWING A BOAT, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON MY FORD EXCURSION EXPLODED ON I-285 NORTH OF ATLANTA GA. I WAS IN THE LANE INSIDE THE FAST LANE, BUT MOVING AT THE SAME SPEED AS TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER AND CHANGE THE TIRE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE TIRE EXPLODED AND WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE AXLE, THE RIM WAS DESTROYED. I HAVE ORDERED ANOTHER RIM FROM A RE-MANUFACTURER. I'VE E-MAILED FIRESTONE WITH THE INCIDENT INFORMATION, BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. *NLM
