NHTSA Complaint #734265 — 1998 FORD F SUPER DUTY

THE TIRES BLEW THE THREAD OFF AND CAUSED SEVERE BODY DAMAGE AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO TOWN. FIRESTONE WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS ADVISED TO SEND THE TIRES TO BFTS 1515 ELM HILL PKIE #405 NASHVILLE TN 37210-3615 I HAD TO PAY TO SEND THEM TO THEM AS THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO HELP DUE TO THE BODY DAMAGE. I ELECTED NOT TO DO THIS AND PURCHASED MICHELINS TO REPLACE THE 6 TIRES. I TURNED THE CLAIM INTO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY FIXED THE BODY DAMAGE. I FEEL FIRESTONE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 14,000 MILES AND WAS ONLY ABOUT 1 AND A HALF YEARS OLD. JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ITS NOT ONLY THE WILDERNESS TIRES THAT BLOW APART. I LOST THREAD ON BOTH REAR RIGHT SIDE TIRES. THANK YOU.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225/75R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225/75R16 )
