TIRES
THE TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH. THE RECALL STARTED SHORTLY AFTER WE HAD IT REPLACED. WE ASKED BILL CURRIE FORD TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTEE BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE A DEFECT NOT A REGULAR BLOW OUT. THE TREAD WAS COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM THE TIRE. THEY REFUSED SAYING THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTEE. WE SHOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANOUNCED, BUT WHEN WE FINALLY DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL FIVE FIRESTONE TIRES FORD GAVE US YOUR WEBSITE TO REPORT OUR ORIGINAL BLOW OUT. WE DO NOT HAVE THE TIRE THAT BLEW BUT WE DID STORE THE FOUR REMAINING FIRESTONE TIRES, WITH THE SAME DOT NUMBER. (DOT NUMBER: W2CU TIRESIZE: 255/70R16)
