Consumer Description

THERE WERE 2 SEPARATE TIRE DEFECTS THAT AFTER GOIN FROM 1 MAZDA DEALER TO 1 FIRESTONE DEALER BACK TO A SECOND MAZDA DEALER THEN FINALLY HAD THE PROBLEM TIRE REPLACED FEE OF CHARGE BY A SECOND FIRESTONE DEALER. THE DEFECTIVE TIRE FIRST DROPPED A 2INCH BY 2INCH SECTION OF TREAD RIGHT OFF OF THE TIRE. IT WAS LOCATED ON THE INSIDE TREAD SECTION AND ONLY IN ONE SPOT. WHILE I WAITED FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRE TO BE ORDERED AND RECEIVED AND GUARANTEED BY THE FIRESTONE DEALER(2210 W RIDGE RD ROCHESTER NY 14626)THAT THE TIRE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE ON AND NO OTHER PROBLEMS SHOULD ARISE THE TIRE BEGAN TO RIP ALONG A SEAM ON THE SIDEWALL DIRECTLY OPPOSITE FROM THE MISSING SECTION OF TREAD. THIS OBVIOUSLY COULD OF LEAD TO A TIRE FAILURE OR WORSE. THE DEALER APPOLOGIZED AND QUICKLY REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SIMILIAR TIRE EXCEPT THE NEW ONE HAS WHITE OUTLINED LETTERS AS PER FIRESTONE DEALER ORIGINALS DON'T AND THEY ARE ONLY AVALABLE FROM THE MAZDA/FORD FACTORY????*AK (DOT NUMBER: 0211224 TIRESIZE: P235/70R16)
