| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: All four tires have cracks, all around the perimiter of innner and outer thread channels. called firestone said water could possibly get into steel belts causing them to rust and tires to fail. firestone also said that a firestone dealer would pro-rate thread wear, how can a manufacturer's defect cost a consumer money. also i have personal;y seen the same defect on quite a few other chevy mailbus, with the same tires, maybe this should become a recall before one of these tires do fail at high speed. thank you. *ak (dot number: w2mwaaa118 tiresize: p21560r15) |
