TIRES
DRIVING ON CLEAR PAVED ROAD 30 MILES PER HOUR RIGHT REAR TIRE SUDDENLY FELT FLAT. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND FOUND TIRE COMPLETELY FLAT AND RIPPED OPEN AT TREAD LINE ABOUT HALF OF THE FULL CIRCLE OF THE TIRE. WE CHANGED TO SPARE AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO FIRESTONE RETAILER IN SCOTTSDALE AND SHOWED HIM TIRE. HE CLAIMED WE HAD RUN ON IT AND CAUSED TREAD SEPERATION. WE RAN ABOUT THIRTY FEET AFTER FEELING TIRE GO FLAT.TO PULL OFF ROAD AND SAFELY STOP ON SIDE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 50 YEARS AND EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FLATS UNDER FAR WORSE CONDITIONS AND NEVER HAD A TREAD SEPERATE FROM THE SIDEWALL LIKE THIS.I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU THE TIRE SO THAT YOU MAY SEE IF THIS IS FAULTY MANUFACTURE AND IF WE CAN GET RID OF THESE TIRES AND GET SOME REPLACEMENT COST. WE DONT FEEL SAFEW DRIVING ON THEM. THANK YOU ALLAN AND BARBARA STANLEY (DOT NUMBER: 114S M+S TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)
