TIRES:TREAD/BELT
SIR: I PURCHASED 2 FIRESTONE TIRES, STYLE "FR410" AND 2 DAYS LATER ON A BUSY I-95 FLORIDA HIGHWAY, AT 65 MPH I GOT A TWO WHOLE BLOWOUT ON A BRAND NEW TIRE. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT GET KILLED BY THE SPEEDING CARS. I JUST WANT TO REPORT THAT THE "FR410" TIRE IS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I AM STILL SHAKING FROM THE ORDEAL. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WITH ANOTHER 2 FIRESTONE TIRES. I HOPE I DONT HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITH THESE. NEW TIRES IS FT70C. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
