Consumer Description

I HAD 2 BLOWOUTS WITHIN 100 MILES WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE TIRES WERE CHECKED FOR PROPER INFLATION PRIOR TO THE TRIP. WHEN I TOOK THEM TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER THEY WERE QUICK TO SHIFT THE BLAME AND ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED ALL FOUR OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ON MY TRUCK BUT THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE FIRESTONE PROBLEMS. MY TIRES WERE 16" AND DIDN'T SEPERATE, THEY JUST BLEWOUT. THERE WAS STILL 50% OF TREAD LIFE ON THE TIRES AT THE TIME OF THE BLOWOUTS. (TIRESIZE: 245/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75R16 )
