Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The tires blew the thread off and caused severe body damage and vehicle had to be towed in to town. firestone was contacted and i was advised to send the tires to bfts 1515 elm hill pkie #405 nashville tn 37210-3615 i had to pay to send them to them as the local firestone dealer was unable to help due to the body damage. i elected not to do this and purchased michelins to replace the 6 tires. i turned the claim into my insurance company and they fixed the body damage. i feel firestone should be held accountable as the vehicle only had 14,000 miles and was only about 1 and a half years old. just wanted to let you know its not only the wilderness tires that blow apart. i lost thread on both rear right side tires. thank you.*ak( dot number: tire size: 225/75r16 )
