Consumer Description

ON A TRIP HOME, I HAD A BLOWOUT ON ONE OF THE FIRESTONE ATX TIRES ON MY FORD EXPLORER. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH, WHEN THE TREAD SEPARATED AND SEND US ON A WILD RIDE ACROSS THE INTERSTATE. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SAFE STOP. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACE WITH THE SAME BRAND, SIZE, AND TYPE AFTER THE FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER ASSURED ME THAT THESE TIRES WERE SAFE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SEPARATION WAS DUE TO SPEED AND HIGHWAY HEAT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75/15 )
