Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 honda civic that has firestone p185/65xfr690 tires onit. i had check my tire pressure before leaving for work. all was fine. about 7 miles into my 9 mile drive to work my car acted like a big gust of wind had just hit the front. i pulled over to check out the car. i discouvered that the 2 left tires were low. by the time i got to work the front had gone flat. when i change it with the spare i discovered that the tread had separated from the tire at the inner side wall. i then crawled under my car to examine the other low tire to find it had separated also. when i arrived at the tire store to have all 4 replace atleast one of the other 2 was also showing signs of separation. i retained the tires from the dealer and have them at mey home in aurora.
