Consumer Description

RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO AL AFTER HAVING OUR YUKON XL FOR APPROX. 2 WEEKS, WE HAD A BLOWOUT AT 4AM. WE HEARD A CLUNK AND ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, THE BLOWOUT OCCURRED. THE TREAD TOTALLY SEPARATED. WE WERE NOT REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. NOW THAT WE KNOW FIRESTONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES, WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TURN THESE TIRES IN TO FIRESTONE AND GET A COMPLETE REFUND AND THEN GO BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS SAID THEY WILL INSPECT THE TIRES FOR FREE AND IF THEY SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ANY TIRE, THEY WOULD REPLACE THAT TIRE WITH ANOTHER FIRESTONE TIRE. I DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE FIRESTONE TIRES. CAN YOU HELP?*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )
