| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Traveling up from va, the right rear firestone tire which is a lt245/75r16 mounted on a 1996 2500 suburban load range e tire rated at max 80 psi, was inflated to 65 psi. i felt a bobbling then the tread came off the casing, damaging the side of my suburban, ripping off the mud flap and damage the paint as it flopped around and just ripped itself off. fortunately the tire did not go flat but lost the entire tread portion. this set of four was purchase and was exact replacement from oem tire when new. there is about 80% tread on tires. firestone is telling me to run 45 psi in the front end 80 psi in the rear. i don't believe this is accurate. *nm |
