Catastrophic blowout failure of primewell valera touring tire purchased from Firestone in jackson, ms, on 06/14/2016. Blowout occurred on 07/03/2017 while wife was driving on I-55. We have put less than 12K miles on these tires and, now, do not feel safe. Possible damage to car (Volvo XC90). Wife stranded over July 4th holiday in Louisiana because Firestone is closed. After initially telling us that the tires would be replaced free because there was a recall, Firestone now says we will have to pay for new tires because our tires are not being recalled. Extremely frustrating.

I have had numerous failures with my 1990 Volvo: I am on my third set of tires, and I have 30,000 miles. I have had several shock absorbers replaced, a tie rod break, and many electrical problems.

Original equipment tires on my 2004 Volvo XC90 (Michelin hxmxm4's) are frightening. They offer very little traction in the best conditions; in the rain, unintended lane changes are common due to sliding.
