Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My firestone tires came apart on my trip to nev. i was in a curve at 70mph with the cruise control on when the tred came off on the left rear tire throwing us into a skid. the tred riped out the splash gaurd and the fender moulding then hiting the rear quarter and leaving a14 by 8 inch dent. then about an hour or so later the left front gets a ply seperation. i dont care about the junk tires but if my wife was driving i'm sure someone would of gotten hurt. i drove truck for about 16 years so my skill level is a little better than average.*ak
