Description of the problem | While on the hwy. The tire blew up. The sc. Hwy. Emrgency patrol came when they took the tire off they stated the tire was defective. I had just been to firestone on 8/3/01 and had my tires rotated as per the car manual. Either the tire was defected as s. H. E. P. Has stated or they incorrectly inflated my tire. When it blew it caused the rim to hit the ground and damaged the rim. I have call firestone and went to the dealership with no luck. I glad to be alive hwy 85 at rush hour is scary.*ak (tiresize: p21565r159) |
