TIRES:TREAD/BELT
IT ALL STARTED WITH I PULLED OVER DUE TO SEVERE STEERING DIFFICULTIES. FOUND TIRE FLAT. CONTACTED DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY AND THEY SAID THE TIRE STEEL BELTS BUSTED. THEY SAID HAD I NOT PULLED OVER I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CRASHED THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY DIED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE BLOWOUT. I CALLED FIRESTONE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE OR DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED GETTING FIRESTONE TO PONY UP TO THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I SHOWED THE TIRE TO TWO OTHER TIRE RETAILERS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE - THAT SUCH SEPARATION SHOULD NOT OCCUR AFTER 31 MILES. I HAD MY HUSBAND THEN GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FIRESTONE TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY, FEARING FOR MY SAFETY, HAD THEM PUT NEW TIRES ON ALL FOUR WHEELS (BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A). I FIGURED IF FIRESTONE WASN'T GOING TO OWN UP TO THEIR PROBLEMS IT WOULD TAKE MY DEATH FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING. I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK. I AM REPORTING THIS NOW BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHOM ELSE TO REPORT IT TO OTHER THAN THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. I LISTENED TO THE HEARINGS AND DECIDED TO SUBMIT THIS REPORT. I SUGGEST YOU CHECK NATIONWIDE WITH THE TIRE REPLACEMENT DEALERS IF YOU REALLY WANT AN ACCURATE NUMBER OF HOW MANY BLOWOUTS/TIRE FAILURES HAVE REALLY OCCURED. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT EVEN LIST OR DEAL WITH OURS SINCE THERE WAS NO PROPERTY DAMAGE AND NO FATALITIES.. *AK (TIRESIZE: P215/75 R1)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/75 R1 )
