Consumer Description

We had the left driver side rear tire crack in two different places on the outside while driving from AL to OK with a load of cattle. No air tire pressure warning from truck when tire deflated. Tire happened to quickly deflate right as we stopped for gas due to the cracks in sidewall. This tire would have blown out while we were driving and we could have lost truck, trailer, and cattle. It was luck we stopped for gas when we did. The right front tire has bubbles and is not holding pressure. The dealership told us if they bring it up to pressure it will blow out. Truck was bought in April 2021. Tires are Firestone Transforce LT285/60R/20 AT. These tires are dangerous, and we'd like them replaced. It makes me sick to my stomach to think what could have happened.
