Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While traveling on the highway at highway speed, passenger side rear tire ( firestone radial atx p235/75r15 ) had full tread separation from tire. was able to slow and pull off of the side of the highway only to find damage to the right rear of my '95 ford explorer. tread piece had come off the tire and up hitting the lower portion of the fender bending it upward toward the supports for it and then hitting the passenger rear tail light completely breaking it enough to need full replacement. after hitting the light, it came down and hit the passenger rear door window and leaving multiple black tire/rubber marks down the door till it hit the running board on the side.*jb
