| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During texas trip, 1 tire went flat. upon inspection and replacement, it was determined that the cause was tread separation. following summer, other tires were showing similar breakdown (notelably deep cracks in the sidewalls). i went back to the tire dealer that had sold me the firestones and bought new tires (not firestones). i asked the dealer to inquire about the cracks with a firestone rep. i was never appraised as to the reps. answer but was told by the dealer that next time i needed tires i would get a good deal on them. seeing as the tires were old, i felt this was about the best i could expect. i didn't think much of it until i heard about the problem with firestone light truck tires on the radio today. i still have my original receipt for the tires and may still have a photograph of the tire that was replaced it texas. obviously, i no longer have the tires. they were originally purchased in 1993. *ak (tiresize: ltp235r15)( dot number: tire size: ltp235r15 ) |
