Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: With all the recent reports of the firestone tires i thought it was important to report my incident to see the full scope of the problem.my wife had just exited the freeway going about 50 m.p.h. when her tire blew out. she came close to losing control of the vehicle.i remember it as being a very warm, dry afternoon because i changed the tire and i was pouring sweat. my wife did not hit anything and the tire was not punctured, it just blew out and came apart. the shop that changed the tire said they saw no puncture the tire just blew apart. this happened over a year ago, i just thought i would report it since it was similiar to the other reports of tire problems.thank you.( dot number: e4026556 ? tire size: 235/75 r15 )
