“Tire caused a thumping sound and sensation at speeds greater than 50 MPH. Tire dealer said that the tire had a slipped belt and showed me a distortion in the tire wall. This was the second tire, which I believe was the oem tire, to have this failure.( DOT number: a3mo ffa 0 tire size: p205/70r15 )”
NHTSA complaint #730066, filed 2000-09“This is the second firestone fr410 tire we had that has had a tread separation within 4 months. I had to pay pro-rated on the first tire and I had to buy a new tire because we were on a return trip from ohio when the second tire blew. Firestone will not replace since it is not on the recall list of tires. It seems odd to have 2 tires within 4 months with a tread separation.( DOT number: tire size: 20570r15 )”
