| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I noticed a pull to the left on my 2001 ford f350 with firestone steeltex radial tires lt 265 75r 16 thinking it was air presure related the day before the incident i checked the presure in all tires and all had required presure, so i thought there may be an alignment issue. the next day the left front tire failed without notice while traveling 70mph down the turnpike causing signifiant dammage to my vehicle an almost a catastrophic crash. upon installing the spare the pull to the left disappeared, thus no aligment issue the tire must have been on it's way to failure causing the pull to the left. the tread seaprated from the tire completly, but the tire sill held presure. |
