Consumer Description

IN EARLY MAY 2000, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND PULL INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE TO REPLACE IT. THE TIRE WAS A FIRESTONE STEELTEX AT TIRE WHICH WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON MY CHEN CK1500 WITH APPROX 60,000 MILES. THERE IS STILL ADEQUATE TREAD ON THE TIRES. IT LOOKS LIKE A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT. (DOT NUMBER: VN11BAB157 TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)
