Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had 2 tread delaminations within a 2 month period. the first occured 7-09-02 to the left front tire. the inner and outer fender were damaged by the flying off read. the second delamination occured on 9-21-02 to the left rear tire. i felt the vibration and was able to change the tire before any damage was sustained. you could see the area where the delamination was happening. the tires are kept at 80psi and are checked on a weekly basis. i still have possesion of both tires at this time. the firestone dealer wants to take them when he replaces the tires. nlm
