NHTSA Complaint #730648 — 1979 FORD LTD

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN LAS VEGAS AT LOW SPEED I HEARD A NOISE WHICH WAS AMPLIFIED WHEN CAR WAS DRIVING FASTER. WHEN I STOPED AND I CHECK A WHOLE SKIN OF THE TIRE WAS GONE. I WENT TO REPLACE IT AND WHEN THEY LIFT UP THE CAR ANOTHER TIRE HAD A BIG BUBBLE(12" LONG). I DONT REMEMBER IF A THIRD OR FORTH HAD SAME PROBLEM BUT I END UP REPLACING ALL 4 (DEFINETLY NOT FIRESTONE). SINCE THAN I ALLWAYS CHECK THE TIRES I HAD ON MY CAR. I BELIEVE I WAS LUCKY. BUT THE EXPERIENCE EVEN TODAY GIVE ME THE GUSS BUMPS.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 )
