Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED TWO (2) SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED TIRE BLOWOUTS AT HIGH SPEED. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAD PROPER INFLATION AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AT 70 MPH JUST AS I WAS APPROACHING A BRIDGE WHICH NEARLY CAUSED ME TO IMPACT BRIDGE ABUTTMENT/RAILING. BLOWN TIRE WAS INSPECTED BY FIRESTONE DEALER AND DEALER SUSPECTS TREAD SEPERATION. I HAVE KEPT TIRE FOR FUTURE INSPECTIONS. OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN APPROX. 40,000 MILES PER YEAR ON 16 INCH NON-FIRESTONE LIGHT TRUCK TIRES AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BLOW-OUT OF A TIRE AS I HAVE WITH THESE TIRES.
