DRIVING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON I-95, THE TIRE TREAD PEELED OFF AND EXPLODED ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE, DAMAGING THE CAR, AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL AND WINDING UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A SHALLOW DITCH. FIRESTONE REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER REPLACING THE FRONT TIRES, LEAVING THE ORIGINAL REAR TIRES, 2 MONTHS LATER, LEAVING AN ON RAMP TO I-4 AT APPROXIMATELY 37 MILES AN HOUR, THE REAR RIGHT TIRE TREAD PEELED OFF TOO. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE THIS TIME, BUT ALL FIRESTONE TIRES WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH GOODYEARS. FIRESTONE HAS REFUSED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. STATE FARM HAS A CLAIM AGAINST FIRESTONE. FIRESTONE HAS NOT MADE ANY COMPENSATION TO THIS DATE. I BELIEVE THAT TWO FIRESTONE TIRES DAMAGED WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER ON THE SAME CAR IS MORE THAN COINCIDENCE.*AK (TIRESIZE: P185/65R14)
