Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have been a mechanic for 15 years and have had a lot of problems with several brands of firestone tires. about 10 years ago several firestone tires developed lumps in the tread and had to be replaced. last year, i had two tigerpaw tires sling the tread from the tire and shred at about 70 mph. i have used a lot of tires and these are the only two that ever slung the tread and then shredded. they were not even installed on the car at the same time. these two incidents were about 6 months apart. i stopped using firestone tires completely after that. there are troubles with firestone tires other than the ones currently being recalled on suvs. this needs to be checked into. *ak( dot number: tire size: 225/75r15 )
