Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving on the highway at 55 mph when the tread on a firestone steeltex r4s (225/75r16) partially separated. this resulted in significant damage to the underside of the vehicle (2000 jayco eagle rv). i am taking the rv to a repair shop later this week but would estimate the damage in the range of a few to several thousand dollars. a spare tire was used to replace the defective tire. i have the defective tire.
