TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WAS DRIVING ON I35W HEADING SOUTH IN TARRENT COUNTY TEXAS. WAS DOING POSTED SPEED OF 70M/HR AND HAD THE TREAD COME OFF OF THE BACK RIGHT TIRE. VEHICLE WAS IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE AT THIS TIME. LOST CONTROL FOR A BREIF INSTANT. GOT STOPED SAFELY, AND PUT ON SPARE TIRE. WENT TO DEALER TO HAVE VEHICLE CHECKED 2 DAYS LATER WHEN OPEN. FOUND ALINMENT WAS NOW OFF. HAD ALLINMENT FIXED. WENT TO FIRESTONE DEALER IN DENTON, TX AND REQUESTED HELP. OFFERED TO REPLACE TIRE WITH A NEW ONE. ANSWER WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE, BECAUSE REPLACING ONE TIRE WOULD GIVE POOR HANDILING CHARACTERISTICS. TRIED E-MAILING FIRESTONE, GOT A REPLY ABOUT THE RECAL OF THE TIRES THAT DID NOT AFECT ME. TRIED CALLING FIRESTONE, SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP. I DO NOT FEAL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH FIRESTONES ON IT ANY LONGER AND AM WISHING TO TRY TO GET A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES TO REPLACE THEM. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE, AND E-MAIL THEM UPON REQUEST. *AK (DOT NUMBER: 8XHL TIRESIZE: P23575R15)
