Consumer Description

THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT WHILE GOING UP THE HUEY P. LONG BRIDGE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS FORCED TO GO UP AND OVER THE BRIDGE TO A SAFE PLACE TO CHANGE THE FLAT TIRE. AS A RESULT OF ROLLING ON THE FLAT TIRE, THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE WAS RUINED. WE BOUGHT A NEW TIRE FROM FIRESTONE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED FLAT TIRE. THE NEW TIRE IS ONE THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL CURRENTLY IN EFFECT BY FIRESTONE.( DOT NUMBER: VNHL328 TIRE SIZE: 235/75/R15 )
