GS 300

  • miles
While driving on a freeway at approx 65 mph I had a blowout. The tire tread was shredded and separated from the tire, just as in the SUV tires that are being recalled by Firestone. I brought the tire to a Firestone/Bridgestone dealer for replacement and they determined that the tire was not defective. They said I had probably run over a nail or piece of glass. I have never before seen a puncture cause a tire to shred the way this one did. In light of the current Firestone recall, I urge you to force Firestone/Bridgestone to expand the investigation and scope of this recall. If possible and warranted, I would like to have my tires replaced. At the very least. I would like to be reimbursed for the one tire that I had to replace myself.( dot number: Elf1jce498 tire size: P215/60/R1 )
