Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a serious tire failure. the internal steel belts separated causing the tire to deform. fortunately i was able to get off the highway safely without incident, although it was very scary. the tire was a firestone steeltex radial r4s ii. it was on my 2000 ford f350 truck. i only have 24,000 miles on the truck. i am now worried the other tires may have the same issue. is there any recall on this model of tire? *nm
