Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We were going on vacation and had a blowout on the left rear at 65 mph in the fast lane of interstate 10 . the car began fishtailing and i was able to get it to the right shoulder. my wife asked why i was pulling over at first because she could not feel the problem. it scares me to death to think of what would have happened if she were driving alone at the time or with our daughter. they may have becoome statistics like so many others in explorers equipped with these tires. unfortunately, i still have 5 of these firestones, and the wait is months to have them replaced.
