| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Last incident was on highway blowout on right rear tire . we had checked air pressure on tires prior to trip and were good. firestone dealer here in mcpherson where they were purchased would not warrenty the tire but would give a small discount. we elected to keep the tire and not take the discount. it's available for inspection. we have other tires of same kind and type in which the steel cords are showing ready to blow so we removed them also, they were on another truck of ours. we also have another two tires still at the dealer with similiar problems , the dealer has sent in a claim to firestone on them from in dec. 2000. lucky for us we are doing very little highway high speed driving. the last blowout would probably resulted in a accident if we had been in traffic.*ak (dot number: vn11818087 tiresize: lt245/75r1) |
