Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 ford excursion that has firestone tires on it that were stock from the factory. they have 1/4" of treat left and were properly inflated. i was traveling on the interstate and the tread off the right rear tire came off. i slowed and stopped as quick as i could. the tread bent the bottom 8" of the rear quarter panel up under the truck and dented and scratched it all over the rear panel. it also broke out the rear tail light. i havent received a estimate yet but quess it will be between 1500 to $2000 dollars damage to my vehicle. the vehicle was losing control but i am a trained emergency vehicle operator/veteran police officer of 17 years. my driving abilities enabled me to maintain control of the vehicle. *ak
