Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was not contacted to the recall on my firestone tires on my 2000 ford explorer, until last week, and took it upon myself to, at my expense, and replaced said tires, with another, more trusted and safer brand of tire. now after 6 years. i receive a notice from firestone about my spare, but with the condition that i drive 30 miles, and have the 1 tire replaced with another firestone tire. firestone refused to replace my original 4 tires, with compensation, and now refuses to replace my spare with a tire that i am comfortable with........not a firestone! i feel they should compensate me my $350, original, as well as pay for any tire i choose as my spare.....which they refuse to do!!!!*jb
