Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Right front tire blew out. dealership claims a nail caused the entire sidewall to blow out. we strongly disagree with them. the tire wasn't leaking air, wasn't underinflated, there were no steering problems, and the tire didn't show any sign of wear. the entire sidewall blew out and cause damage to the tire and rim. for our safety we have removed these firestone tires from our vehicle, and they are here at our home for inspection. we believe there is a problem with this make of tire.*ak
