TREAD SEPERATED, THEN BLEW OU AFTER TRAVELING FOR 4 HOURS, MILD DAY 80 DEG. JUST REBALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES LESS THAN 500 MILS PRIOR. NO WARNING, NO NOTICABLE TIRE WEAR OR UNDERINFLATION. DAMAGE TO TRUCK WAS EXTENSIVE, $1100 FENDER, TIRE, ETC. SPOKE W/ FIRESTONE, THEY DIDNT GIVE ANY AID, JUST SEND THE TIRE TO NASHVILLE, WITH CLAIN FORM. I WAITED FOR 4 WEEKS THEN THEY SENT CHECK W/ SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF DAMAGE COVERED. SINCE THEN I'VE NO LUCK SPEAKING W/ THEM CONCERNING REPLACEMENT TIRES OR REASONABLE REPARATIONS ON REMAINING 6 TIRES. REMAINING TIRES ARE SHOWING SIDEWALL CRACKS AND BULGES. I WILL REPLACE THESE TIRES MYSELF, BUT WILL KEEP TIRES FOR CLAIM / INVESTIGATIONS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDOR1WW435 TIRESIZE: LT23585R16)
