This was second blowout of the Firestone tires. One at driver side rear, this one at passenger side front. Sidewall torn away from tread. Firestone refuses to acknowledge a problem. 2 blowouts on this car seem excessive for the use it has had. (tiresize: 15260R15)( dot number: Tire size: 15260R15 )

Tire blowout similar to the ones I heard in the news -- outermost row of treads ripped off -- I had 1" of rubber holding the inside of the tire to the outside. I checked the week before -- tires were properly inflated.( dot number: Tire size: 21560R15 )
