Consumer Description

DURING TIRE CHECK, DEALER DETECTED THAT WIRES WERE STARTING TO COME OUT OF THE SIDEWALL OF LF TIRE, FROM THE POINT WHERE THE TREAD MET UP WITH THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 6600 MILES ON IT. MY TIRES (DOT 8XHL) ARE NOT RECALLED BY FIRESTONE, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE CHANGED ALL OF MY TIRES TO A DIFFERENT BRAND AT MY OWN EXPENSE, BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND MY REPLACEMENT COST FOR THE NEW TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: 8XHL TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )
