Consumer Description

I HAVE 4 FIRESTONE FIREHAWK SS10 TIRES THEY WERE BOUGHT IN JULY OF 1997 THE HAVE APPROX 36.000 MILES ON THEM TEY APPEAR TO HAVE ABOUT HALF OF THERE TREAD LIFE LEFT THE TREAD WEAR IS EVEN ACCROSE THE TIRE YESTERDAY I NOTICED A 6 TO 8 INCH BUBBLE IN THE TREAD ON A REAR TIRE (NOT SIDE WALL) THE TIRE HAD NOT BLOWN YET, I REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE THEY JUST ASKED ME TO BRING IT IN AS IT WAS NOT A TIRE IN THE RECALL. I FEAR THE OTHER 3 TIRES WILL DEVELOPE THE SAME PROBLEMS SOON NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE SO FORTUNATE AS TO SEE THE BUBBLE BEFORE THE TIRES BLOW OUT ON THE ROAD. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDR7JBA226 TIRESIZE: P275/60R15)
