The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I had the typical Firestone experience except this time it was with a GM model and a different type of tire. The tread on this tire just peeled right off. Luckily, I'm alive to talk about it. Firestone said it was underinflated. I disagree. I used the best and most efficent mechanic in town and he always keeps the pressure adjusted properly for the appropriate season. All the tires were original equipment. I saved the other 3 tires so when you investigate you can tell if my tires were underinflated or not. (dot number: Vn11B1A428 tiresize: Lt24575R16)

Tire blowout. Tread is gone and in the river. Only sidewalls remain. Talked to dealer and they sent me to Firestone. Firestone said it was just a tire that went flat while driving.( dot number: Vn11B1A089 tire size: Lt24575R16 )

The tread "peeled off" both tires within 3 days of each other at normal highway driving speed. Thank god that they didn't fail when we were driving on the blue ridge parkway's hairpin turns, or I probably wouldn't be here to send this email. These dunlop tires were installed on 6/14/2000 by tire kingdom. They were replaced this morning with goodrich tires.( dot number: Tire size: P255/70R15 )
