| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My firestone spare tire (t125-70r16 96m tubeless radial) exploded while still in its trunk compartment. my vehicle (2002 pontiac bonneville) was parked at the time. the tire blew outward with sufficient pressure to break the cover of the spare tire well, scar the well itself, and to shred and tear the carpet and padding covering it in the trunk. the explosion also knocked a few electronic components from their normal positions, but has appeared not to have permanently damaged them. the tire had been inflated to approximately 50-55 psi five days earlier. it is rated at 60psi. the tire had never been used. *mr |
