| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: One spot on one tire wore through into the steel belt while the rest of the tire tread had no problems with quite a bit of tread left on them. it was only by chance that i noticed the worn spot and fortunately it was before going on a long trip. new tires, same type were purchased. more recently, i rotated the original spare onto the car and noticed a steering pull to one side and found it was not an alignment problem. it turned out the original spare also had one worn out spot down to the steel belt while the rest of the tire was fine. at the store i asked why it might happen in particular on two tires. they mentioned there probably was a defect in the tire and they were to save the tire so i could contact firestone. however, they saved the wrong tire so i don't have it. but hearing of the defects on the all terrain firestone tires prompted me to relay this experience of two original equipment firestone tires that had single spots worn down past the steel belts on otherwise 1/2 worn tires. *ak( dot number: ) |
