Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased 4 firestone destination le tires in 2004 for my 2001 nissan xterra. after 24000 miles i noted that there were small pieces of the sidewall missing on all four tires - evenly spaced around the sidewall of the tire. on the rear passenger tire, the largest missing piece was approximately .75" on each side. i did not take pictures and i experienced no driving problems with the tires. i took the car back to the firestone store and they replaced all four tires at no cost. i am sending this because this clearly looks like some type of defect since i was seeing the same pattern on all four tires (and have never seen anything like that before). if other people are seeing something similar, i wanted to have it noted that i also had this issues. *nm
