Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since purchasing this vehicle on march 2, 2001, we have had three blowouts with these firestone original equipment tires. the first one happened before the car had been driven 2,000 mi. this tire had to be replaced by owner - dealer said it was not covered by the warranty. the second blow-out happened at approximately 8,000 mi. and that tire was able to be fixed. however, last evening we had our third blow-out and the tire is completely "shot" and will need to be replaced. i believe there has to be a defect in the tires; we have never had blow-outs in any of our previous vehilcles/tires. *ak (dot number: fr680 tiresize: p21570r15)
