| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving on a local highway at 70 mph and luckily my sister was driving behind me and noticed my passenger side rear tire going low. i began to merge my truck over to the emergency lane when the tire completely failed and the rear of the truck began to swerve. once i pulled over and looked at the tire i saw a six inch gash roughly one inch from the raised firestone letering running horizontal with the seam of the tread. another gash was observed in the same location smaller in size but on the same seam roughly twelve inches from the six inch gash. although my tire is not on recall i would like to have my tire inspected by the nhtsa so that if there is a defect in this particular tire a warning can be submitted before other accidents or injuries occur.thank you for your concern, jason kominoth. *ak (dot number: w2081pt238 tiresize: p235/70r16) |
