Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Traveling on interstate at 70 mph and heard a knocking noise. pulled over to the side of the interstate. the left rear tire had peeled completely off. replaced the tire with spare. went to firestone dealer and was told that all four tires might should be replaced since one was bad. i replaced all 4 tires with the atx. submitted claim to firestone for damage to car and tire not knowing at the time, there was a problem. i thought it was short of a miracle that firestone actually paid for the tire and damage. now, i know why. my husband has the wilderness at tires and we are proceeding to get his tires checked out. there is a waiting list in sc (being that we are the last state for the recall) for tires to be replaced. i am on a list but i am not happy that i have to wait, knowing what it is really like and what could have happened.( dot number: tire size: 235/75r15 )
