Consumer Description

WHILE ON A DRIVING VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, I FOUND ALL 4 FIRESTONE STEELTEX 265-75 A\T TIRES ON OUR 2000 FORD EXCURSION TO BE EXPERIENCING SIDEWALL FAILURE.2 OF THE TIRES WERE NEAR IMMEDIATE FAILURE AND THE OTHER TWO WERE STARTING TO FAIL.I MAKE IT A HABIT TO CHECK MY TIRES AND VEHICLE CLOSELY WHENEVER I FUEL MY VEHICLES UP, AND THIS WAS THE ONLY THING PREVENTING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ( I WAS TOWING A 24 FT BOAT AT THE TIME).
