TIRES - TREAD/BELT
09/11/2004		1	06/01/1988
	While my wife was driving our truck in heavy atlanta, ga traffic, the front tire exploded. it is a firestone firehawk, 235-70r15 with very good tread. the tire is 8 years old but i seldom use my truck and it is garage kept. the tires have no cracks or dry rot. my wife was able to safely get to the side of the road. i took the tire to my local firestone dealer and the manager advised that my tires were not part of a major recall although they were made in the same plant and are the same size. the steel belts completely tore apart and ruptured the face of the tire. i am convinced the tires are defective and have photos to send.*ak
