Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Yesterday i was driving 60mph down hwy 59 in houston and heard this awful noise like i ran over something. luckily i was able to get quickly over to the shoulder. sure enough the back left tire, a firestone 235/75/15 fr480 (same size as the recall, but different firestone) tire peeled off the belts. it looked like it was about to pop and i don't know how it did not. it did some damage to my vehicle also. i went to a firestone shop and he wants to just sell me new tires... not even replace the blowout!!! he did give me an 800 number for the damage.*ak (tiresize: 275/55r15)( dot number: tire size: 275/55r15 )
