What owners report
WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR TRUCK IN HEAVY ATLANTA, GA TRAFFIC, THE FRONT TIRE EXPLODED. IT IS A FIRESTONE "FIREHAWK, 235-70R15" WITH VERY GOOD TREAD. THE TIRE IS 8 YEARS OLD BUT I SELDOM USE MY TRUCK AND IT IS GARAGE KEPT. THE TIRES HAVE NO CRACKS OR DRY ROT. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK THE TIRE TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER AND THE MANAGER ADVISED THAT MY TIRES WERE NOT PART OF A MAJOR RECALL ALTHOUGH THEY WERE MADE IN THE SAME PLANT AND ARE THE SAME SIZE. THE STEEL BELTS COMPLETELY TORE APART AND RUPTURED THE FACE OF THE TIRE. I AM CONVINCED THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND HAVE PHOTOS TO SEND.*AK
