| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There was not enough room on the questionnaire to show the entire dot number which is dot el yt chb 1000. this tire failed at 55 degrees temperature, at 60 mph on the freeway. the odometer had only 1563 miles on it. i heard a clunking sound that alarmed me, so i got into the slow lane. after a few minutes the clunking sound stopped. a minute or so later, the tire failed. there was no evidence of nails or other road hazard, but the tire did have a lot of tire dust inside it. i did not go in to work that day, so i could replace all my tires as soon as possible. i replaced 4 tires with michelins at a cost of $408.29, and i intend to replace the 5th tire as soon as costco gets a new shipment in. i have retained all the tires i replaced. i hesitated to take the tire to firestone for evaluation, because i did not think they would be impartial.( dot number: elytchb100 tire size: p205/70r15 ) |
