Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Intuitively, i knew this was a manufacturing defect even though at the time i was denied compensation or adjustment. i bought 4 new tires after the failure of my firestone atx's but i saved the "exploded tire that damaged my truck to the tune of $500. and shook the hell out of me. it was a real close call on i -17 in phoenix , az. if it had not been at night when the freeway was uncrowded i am sure it would have been much more serious. i want to show this tire and the still existing damage to my truck to somebody and i believe firestone should reimburse me now that their little secret is out in the open.( dot number: vd60atn072 tire size: 31x10.5r15 )
