“I purchased a used Volvo with a virtually new set of firewhawk tires on it. After driving it for about 3 months, I noticed one of the front tires had developed a good sized bulge on the side wall. This was about a year ago. I was concerned and e-mailed the consumer division of firestone about the problem. I described the bulge and gave dimensions including diameter (approximately 2 inches) and the height of the buldge (about 1/2 inch). I asked if it was dangerous to continue driving on this tire and who was responsinble for replacement. I received no reply from firestone. …”
