| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving aprx. 55mph back passenger tire sidewall blew, causing me to lose control of my vehical (sedan) and going into a spin (tire size: p205/70r15 95s),(dot: w2m0 r3b), (model type: steel belted radial), (make: firestone fr360). i have 2 young children that where in the vehical with me. in the event that i was not extremly well trained in defensive driving my belief is that the vehicle would have rolled. these tires have less then 400 miles on them. the two front tires are showing bubbles on sidewall. driver back tire has seperation where the sidewall meets the tread,(this seperation is very thin and hard to see unless you are at eye level with the tire). i find that firestone has a serious problem with there manufactoring of tires, so therfor i will no longer be purchasing tires from this company in the future. |
