Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving, the tread separated and the tire then blew. very scary. i contacted firestone. they advised that it was an impact break sometime in the life of the tire. very rude. after $1000 damage to my vehicle, i could not in good faith trust the tires on the vehicle. i replaced them with michelan's. i never in over 35 years of driving ever had a tire tread separate and then blow out. this is a defect that firestone will not admit. the cost and damages to my vehicle to replace and repair is over $2000. firestone could care less.
