| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a gmc sierra 1550hd truck. purchased in 2001. it currently has 62,000 miles. it came with firestone 245x75x16 tires. since i have had this vehicle both rear tires of the same description has had failures within months of each other. the tires developed large humps on the tread area while driving at highway speed causing the vehicle to shudder drastically and become unstable. this is of particular concern to me since in both cases i had my family with me which includes a baby and a 10 year old in the vehicle. what can be done about my complaint and is there concern for other consumers who may be riding on this particular tire as well? *jb |
