| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The first incident with an occurence date of 10/9/99 was when i located a lump in the left side front tire. while driving at slow speeds the steering wheel would move side to side as the lump or raised portion of the wheel would come into contact with the road. at higher speeds it felt like the tire was out of balance. i finally located the lump and had the tire replaced. i was informed at the time the belts had seperated. the tire was replaced but only after the price had been prorated according to the manufacturers warranty. the second incident was much more serious. while returning home from the northern part of the state the tread completely seperated on the right front tire. i was travelling on a highway known as the cimmaron turnpike. the speed limit on the turnpike is 75 mph. i noticed a vibration and then the whole tire let go. the tread stripprd off and tore up the whole inside of the fender as it continued to go around. it tore out the inner fender well liner . it looked exactly like the tires being shown on the news reports concerning firestone. after these two incidents these tires were replaced under the manufacturers warranty but only after they had been prorated. i replaced the two rear tires in april of 2000 prior to taking a trip because i thougt they might do the same thing.*ak( dot number: tire size: 235/70sr16 ) |
