Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 SUBARU WHICH CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE WILDERNESS TIRES. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR ONE OF THE FRONT TIRES COMPLETELY BLEW APART. LESS THAN 12,000 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I SAFELY STOPPED THE CAR. I DON'T HAVE A FIRESTONE DEALER IN MY AREA SO I CONTACTED THEM BY PHONE. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I BELIEVE THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225 60R16 )
