| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Tread separation and blowout on firestone steeltex tire. the tire was totally destroyed and could have caused a rollover if my travel trailer had not been attached. i was driving 60 mph on the interstate when a vibration started. i slowed down to 35 mph. the tread separated and blowout occured before i could find a safe place to stop. the tire was exchanged at a firestone dealer under warranty because the tire wasn't on the recall list. the damage to this tire was more than that of the ford explorer tire tread separations that i have seen in reports. i have digital photos of the tire damage. *ak |
