“I was driving on the 405 in los angeles at 65 MPH last thursday night at 10 pm. My left rear tire suddenly began to come apart as if the skin was coming off of it. I did not crash but was able to pull over safely onto an exit. The tire appears to be shredding like the ones I have seen on television and in the newspaper, event though it is a different firestone tire. I kept the tire and called firestone, and they said to bring it in. I drive 2 hours a day to work and I can't necessarily afford to replace all four, which I need to now do. …”
