Consumer Description

AT 62 MPH, MY LEFT REAR TIRE DEVELOPED A LARGE BULGE (APPROXIMATELY 12" IN DIAMETER) ON THE TREAD AREA WHICH EXTENDED INTO THE SIDEWALL APPROXIMATELY 4". THE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. THE TREAD NEVER SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CARCASS. I BELIEVE IT WOULD HAVE SEPARATED IF I HAD NOT STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 FORD EXCURSION WITH A DIESEL ENGINE. THE TIRES- FIRESTONE STEELTEX LT265/75R16- ARE ORIGINAL WITH 35,850 MILES ON THEM. I CHECK TIRE PRESSURE WEEKLY AND KEEP IT AT 60PSI FOR THESE TIRES. THEY HAVE NEVER LOST AIR IN THE 12 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *JB
