Consumer Description

ON 08-13-99 I WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TWICE WHILE ON RTE 24 IN RANDOLPH, MA - THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE BROKE DOWN AND THE TRUCK WENT OUT OF CONTROL ENDING UP OFF OF THE ROAD - THIS TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE DEALER AND IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS FOR THE DEALER TO LOCATE AN EXACT MATCH AS I WAS INFORMED THAT FIRESTONE WAS NOT PRODUCTION OF THIS TIRE AT THE TIME. ALTHOUGH THE START OF THE TROUBLE WAS IN FACT THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE OTHER DRIVER - THE FACT THAT THE TIRE BROKE DOWN RENDERED MY ABILITY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: 02 7474 TIRE SIZE: P235/70R16 )
