Consumer Description

THESE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS THEY SHOW SIGNS OF SEPARATION RIGHT AT THE TREAD/SIDEWALL LINE. FIRESTONE WOULD OFFER ME A CREDIT IN FIRESTONE DOLLARS OF $100 BUT I HAD THESE REPLACE WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND AT A COST OF $350. MORE IMPORTANT IS THE FACT THAT THIS TIRE IS DANGEROUS AND YET HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. PLEASE RESPOND AS I AM GOING TO AUCTION THESE TIRES ON THE INTERNET TO ATTORNEYS THAT ARE SUING THE PANTS OFF THESE NEGLIGENT MORONS THAT ARE NOT STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNCUIPX366 TIRESIZE: P25570R 16)
