| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am extremely concened that i have not heard that the firestone problem extends to their fire hawk line of tires. i had three failures of these tires, all tread separations, within a one year period. after the first separation the faulty tire was replaced. after the second separation, if i remember correctly, all the tires in the production series were replaced. after the third separation i replaced all the tires with another brand. from my personal experience the problem with the fire hawks is just as potentially lethal as those currently under investigation and this needs to be addressed before more people are killed. by the way, my tires were not underinflated and the suburban was not being driven with a unusually havy load. these tires were just defective.( dot number: tire size: p275/60r15 ) |
