LARGE SECTION OF TREAD SEPERATED FROM DRIVERS REAR TIRE EXPOSING STEEL AND GOING FLAT. FIRESTONE HAS BEEN CONTACTED (800-367-3872) AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. I DON'T AGREE. THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE AND UNSAFE TO USE. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES. I FEEL THESE TIRES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL PROGRAM. (DOT NUMBER: HYHYR3B355 TIRESIZE: 215 70R14)
