| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a tire go flat ,while it was parked in my driveway. i took it off and could't find any thing in the tire . i pluged the leak .ifilled the tire with air ,put it back on the truck . in about an hour it was down again. i took it off again , it was leaking next to the plug. i put another plug in it and this time i checked it . it was still leaking in the same area ,i put the number 3 plug in it.it still leaked and it looked as if the tire was trying to come apart. i put the spare on and went to the firestone dealer and told him i had a bad tire . he said they weren't having any trouble [a big lie ] .he said he had no idea how i screwed the tire up. the tire could not be patched .we argued he couldn't do me any good.i asked him why a tire rated at 65000 miles would go bad at 22000 miles ? he said i was lucky as hell to get that much out of it. the tire looked as if they left a part of . it seemed mushy. i got mad at him ,and went to a local tire dealer ,and ordered new wilderness tires like a fool ! i emailed firestone and complained they answered that i should go to their dealer, they didn't do business over the internet . i had been there @done that they say the 16 inch tires are allright they are wrong ------dead wrong-----( dot number: tire size: p23570r16 ) |
