Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We have a 2000 coachmen class c rv motorehome. we were traveling east on rt 36 going about 60 mph and had a blowout in agra,ks. it was the rear outside tire on the passengers side. it was a steeltex radial r4s...lt225/75/r16. *ak we have been tracking the firestone tires since 10/2/2000 and have called everybody about out steeltex tires...to no available. when there was the contraversary about psi on the inside door differing from the tire psi we have kept our tires at the psi indicated on the tire itself and have faithfully maintained that psi. we are replacing the remaining 5 firestone tires because we feel sure that if it was one of the front tires....we would have rolled the rv over and been dead. we are going to persue this with firestone to see if we can come to some kind of agreement. it should cost us over $600.00 to $700.00 to replace the tires.
