Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Right rear (passenger side) tire "let go" while driving down the interstate south of pueblo, co. the tire did not blow out. tread separation was the outer side of the tread and sidewall. tire failure was not caused by low air pressure as all had been checked that morning (34lbs). no nails or other punctures were observed by me or the dealer. this tire failed because it was faulty. the local firestone rep assumes no responsibility for the product failure. all 4 tires were new and had about 30,000mi on them.*ak (dot number: w272wl1499 tiresize: p265/70r18)
