Excursion 4WD

  • miles
Traveling at 65mph when right side rear tire sidewall blewout causing the vehicle to swerve. Managed to slow down and proceeded to stop on the shoulder of the highway. Sidewall completely disentegrated. Tread still intact. Local Firestone retailer ruled out road hazard and confirmed sidewall failure, suggested pro rating tire for replacement but later advised against replacement due to the damage sustained to the vehicle as a result of the blowout. Refered me to Firestone technical services for damage claim. (dot number: Vnw81X0510 tiresize: 265/75R/16)
