Consumer Description

ON APRIL 17 I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I 75 IN MICHIGAN WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT EXPLODED . I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 8 HOURS AND IT WAS ABOUT 35 DEGREES . THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SENT ME TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER . I WAS TOLD THE FIRESTONE DID NOT MAKE BAD TIRES AND TOLD ME IT WAS FORD PROBLEM. CALLED FORD BACK TOLD SERVICE MANGER WHAT I WAS TOLD . HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK IN TO IT . SEVERAL DAY LATER FORD CALLED BACK AND SAID ALL THEY WOULD COVER WAS ONE TIRE . I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES AND WOULD LIKE FORD REPLACE THESE TIRES WITTH A DIFERENT BRAND . I PULL A 8000 LBS BOAT AND AM GLAD I WAS NOT TOWING IT AT THE TIME THE TIRE BLEW OUT . I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE ON THE TRUCK AS WELL AS OFF THE TK. THIS TK WAS ASSEMBLED IN CANADA. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VNW8 1XL TIRESIZE: LT265/75R1)
