I bought a set of new Firestone destination at 285-75-R16. On July 24, 2007. Were I bought the tires they didn't have road hazard, and we didn't know that till they all ready had them on. The cost of those were $673.52. On November 5, 2007 I had a blow out going to work with one of the tires in front and I had to buy a brand new one. To replace that tire, it cost me $155.06 for a new one, and they would not give us a road hazard on that one sense we didn't buy it from them. Then on January 22, 2008 I had another flat blow out, on the back tire. It cost me at a Firestone place $262.39 to replace the tire and they said they would honor the road hazard for all 4 tires. So now that I have road hazard I probably won't have another blow out. So my question is, is their a recall with Firestone destination at tires" or is their any other person having a problem with these tires"
