FIRESTONE FIREHAWK GTA P205/50R16, FRONT LEFT TIRE HAS BUBBLE ON SIDEWALL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I REPLACED THE FIRST ONE. *JB
THE FIRESTONE FIREHAWK GTA-02 ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY 2002 FORD FOCUS ZX3 APPEAR TO HAVE A FLAW. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY FOCUS, I NOTICED A "BUBBLE" ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE'S SIDEWALL. THE OTHER THREE TIRES HAVE BEEN FINE OVER THE PAST ENSUING 21 MONTHS SO I HAVE TO BE BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE TIRE WAS FLAWED COMING OUT OF THE FACTORY. MY FORD DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT WITHOUT CHARGING A FULL PRICE SINCE THERE IS NO KNOWN RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR TIRE. YET, I SEE NOW THROUGH THE NHTSA THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL "SIDEWALL BUBBLE" COMPLAINTS AGAINST THIS TIRE MODEL. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LIST, SINCE I HAVE DRIVEN A LOT OF CARS OVER THE YEARS, AND NEVER SAW A "BUBBLE" POP UP LIKE THIS ....SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE! TOM. *AK
