WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A RED LIGHT ABOUT 5 MPH LEFT REAR TIRE WAS PUNCTURED BY A NAIL ON SIDEWALL. INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT TIRE WORE OUT AND WAS UNEVEN, AND OVER INFLATED BY TIRE DEALER. P-195/60HR15, NISSAN, 240SX, 1992. *AK *JB
INTUITIVELY, I KNEW THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT EVEN THOUGH AT THE TIME I WAS DENIED COMPENSATION OR ADJUSTMENT. I BOUGHT 4 NEW TIRES AFTER THE FAILURE OF MY FIRESTONE ATX'S BUT I SAVED THE "EXPLODED TIRE THAT DAMAGED MY TRUCK TO THE TUNE OF $500. AND SHOOK THE HELL OUT OF ME. IT WAS A REAL CLOSE CALL ON I -17 IN PHOENIX , AZ. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN AT NIGHT WHEN THE FREEWAY WAS UNCROWDED I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS. I WANT TO SHOW THIS TIRE AND THE STILL EXISTING DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK TO SOMEBODY AND I BELIEVE FIRESTONE SHOULD REIMBURSE ME NOW THAT THEIR LITTLE SECRET IS OUT IN THE OPEN.( DOT NUMBER: VD60ATN072 TIRE SIZE: 31X10.5R15 )
ABS BRAKES FAILED. *AK
