TIRES
I HAD JUST ENTERED ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND HAD GONE ABOUT 5 MILES WHEN MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLEW SENDING ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE ALWAYS ROTATED THESE TIRES EVERY 6000 MILES AND KEPT 32-34 POUNDS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THEM. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW THE WHOLE TREAD FROM AROUND THE TIRE SEPARATED LEAVING ONLY THE TWO SIDEWALLS ATTACHED TO A SEVERELY DAMAGED MAG-ALLOY WHEEL. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE AND SUFFERED NO APPARENT INJURIES. HOWEVER IT IS A LITTLE UNERVING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. I WENT TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS PATICULAR TIRE WAS UNDER NO RECALL AND THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS. I AM SURE I WILL HAVE NO LUCK GETTING REIMBURSED FOR THE TIRE/TIRES AND RIM BUT FEEL IT NECESSARY TO AT LEAST MAKE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS TIRE. LIKE I SAID PROPER MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THESE TIRES AND THE DEALER COMMENTED THE REMAINING THREE LOOKED SIMILAR IN WEAR WITH NO ABNORMALITIES. ALL THREE REMAINING TIRES HAD EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF WEAR. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT AND WILL APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET.*AK
