Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The belts cut through the left front tire from the inside. from the outside, the tires have three cuts in them so deep the belts can be seen. i replaced the tires because of the firestone recall scare. i still have the defective tires though.the tire dealer told me that it looked like the belt had seperated and cut through from the inside. driving it felt like the tire was folding over itself especially when i took a turn.( dot number: tire size: p23570r16 )
