Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Jan 7, 2001 we were driving between 45 to 50mph. my husband said to pull over because we had a flat tire. two months ago we bought the malibu used. so i was obvious that the previous owner had those tires put on. we noticed a week later that the front tires needed to be rotated, we did so. so 3000 miles later we had this blowout. the right-rear tire came apart. usually when you get a flat tire theres a puncher or slow leak. pieces of the tire came off. i looked at the other tire yesterday and i can see some cracks on it. and those tires aren't bald but worn. the front tires are firestone but newer. i know these tires aren't on the recall list, but there is something is wrong with these tires. i think firestone should replace my tires.*ak (tiresize: p215/60ris)( dot number: tire size: p215/60ris )
