Consumer Description

ON SEPT. 27 THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND EXAMINED TIRE. TIRE HAD SUSTAINED MANY RIPS AND TEARS ALONG THE SIDE AND NUMEROUS FIBERS WERE EXPOSED WITHIN THE RIPS AND TEARS. THE TIRE WAS NOT FLATTENED. ALL THE DAMAGE WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. THE TIRES ON MY 2002 CAMRY CAME WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD ONLY 18,000 MILES. THE BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE INSPECTOR UPON EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE DENIED IT WAS DEFECTIVE. *LA
