Consumer Description

TRUCK STARTED DEVELOPING CONTROL PROBLEMS, FISHTAILING AND VIBRATING. NOTICED THAT TIRE TREADS WERE SEPARATING. TOOK TO FIRESTONE DEALER AND REPLACED ALL 4. 2 OF THEM WERE BULGING AND SEPARATING A GREAT DEAL, THE OTHER 2 WERE STARTING TO DEVELOP MINOR BULGES. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE STOPPED BEFORE WE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
