Consumer Description

TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH. THE DAMAGE TO THE TIRE WAS RIGHT WHERE THE TREAD AND SIDEWALL MEET. WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE TO A FIRESTONE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A "ZIPPER PROBLEM". AFTER THE FIRESTONE WARRANTY DEPT. WAS CALLED I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T TELL WHY THE TIRE HAD FAILED BECAUSE I HAD OBVIOUSLY DRIVEN ON IT WHILE IT WAS FLAT. I INFORMED THEM THAT IT IS HARD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM 55 MPH., AND THAT I HAD TO DRIVE APRX. A TENTH OF A MILE TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAS OFFERED A REPLACEMENT TIRE AT EITHER AT 1/2 OFF OR AT DEALER'S COST I DON'T REMEMBER. THE REPLACEMENT ALSO HAS THE "VD" DESIGNATION.( DOT NUMBER: VD11B1C TIRE SIZE: LT24575R16 )
