Description of the problem | Please contact me at my work # 708-233-7305 and i will have the vin# and dot # available. The tread on my firestone tire separated and cause damage to the left front of my van. Thankfully i was able to control the vehicle without striking another vehicle or a median (i was on a major expressway at the time) i have tried to file a claim through firestone and they are making an excuse that a nail hole will cause a tire to loose the tread as mine did. I have never heard of such a thing. Please advise. Thank you!!*ak |
