Consumer Description

MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE RUPTURED WHILE TRAVELING NORTH, ON I-15 ABOUT 5 TO 10 MILES SOUTH OF PAYSON, UTAH. THE TRUCK WAS A 2002 FORD F350 SUPERDUTY AND THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I WAS GOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH WHEN THE TIRE BURST AND WAS LUCKY TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE TORE APART AND CAUSED ABOUT $2800 WORTH OF BODY DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. IT HAS NOW BEEN REPAIRED BY GREINER FORD IN CASPER, WYO. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS A 2002, IT HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE TIRES. THE TREAD DEPTH WAS STILL EXCELLENT. THE FACTORY EQUIPPED TIRES ARE THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX A/T SIZE LT265, 75R16. IF THE TRUCK HAD ROLLED OVER THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
