“Just wanted to let you know that the current problems with firestone radial atx tires has been going on since 1989. I had one completely self destruct for no apparant reason and the firestone dealer I tried to work with laughed at me and thought the whole incident was funny. I went straight to a b.f.goodrich dealer and had the firestones removed and trashed. I'll never own another firestone tire and I tell everyone who will listen about the danger of owning firestone tires. Thank you. ( DOT number: tire size: 235x75x15 )”

The trim for the wheel well tore, and the exhaust was pinched , nearly closed. The tire was taken to firestone and they checked it. The mechanic stated it should not have happened. They were given the customer service number for firestone. Firestone state the tire had to be mailed to them to determine whether they will replace it. There was nearly a crash.
