“We had a prior incident with one of the front tires. The tire became out of round, while travelling at speed, the tire began to bounce. The problem was not due to over or underinflation. The tire became out of round. The same problem happened with the most recent tire. It shook for a second or so before it lost its outer tread. I suffered the same thing as many of the tires currently on recall. The tires on my truck where purchased new, not used and where not retreads. I have filed a claim with firestone but would like to document that I have also filed one with your department. …”
