Consumer Description

I COMPLETED A COMPLAINT FORM YESTERDAY, AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TODAY. ONE OF THE DEALERS WHO INSPECTED MY TIRES CLAIMED THEY WERE MADE IN SC; I REVIEWED THE Q AND A FOR FIRESTONE AND AND TIRE WITH "VD" WAS MADE IN DECATUR, ILL. I HAVE ALSO REVIEWED THE OTHER POSSIBLE TIRES THAT MAY BE RECALLED, BUT THE TIRE INFORMATION FROM THE DEALER DOES NOT APPEAR TO MATCH. HOWEVER, I STILL HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE WILDERNESS AT, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. I AM WONDERING IF THE TIRES I HAVE WERE PART OF THE 1.4 MILLION AFTERMARKET TIRES THEY HAVE DESCRIBED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. RESPECTFULLY, LINDA CATANZARO( DOT NUMBER: VD66 TIRE SIZE: 30X9.50R15 )
