1995 TOYOTA PICKUP Tires Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 TOYOTA PICKUP EQUIPPED WITH COOPER FUTURA 855 TIRES (N/A), LINE SIZES (P235/75/R15) DOT 3800. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED HE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TIRES HAD DEVELOPED BULGES. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NO LONGER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY LIABILIY INSURANCE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, SO ALLSTATE PAID NO MONEY. A CLAIM WAS FILED THROUGH FIRESTONE. AFTER SENDING THE FAILED TIRE ALONG WITH PICTURES AND ESTIMATES OF THE VEHICLES (THERE WAS A MOTORCYCLE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT), FIRESTONE HAD SENT ME A REPLY BACK STATING THAT THE TIRES TREAD PEELED DUE TO AN IMPROPER REPAIR. THE ONLY REPAIR THAT I AM CURRENTLY AWARE OF WAS DONE ONLY DAYS BEFORE THE TIRE PEELED, LEAVING NO TIME FOR THE TREAD BREAKDOWN TO OCCUR. THE REPAIR WAS DONE AT A REPAIR SHOP. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE PEELED TREAD FROM THE TIRE AND FIRESTONE IS SENDING THE COMPLETE TIRE BACK TO ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VD60AXC195 TIRESIZE: 31X10.5R15)
