| Dear nhtsa, i had many tire failures with my firestone atx ii tires. i purchased them when my car had 57,358 miles on 03/19/94. i drove approximately 20,000 miles per year. all the previous tire failures were blowouts i had while driving with my family on the highway. each time i went to the firestone service center for prorated tire repairs. they kept trying to blame my blowouts on my aluminum wheel rims although i never had any problems with my previous uniroyal tires. in 1998 after yet another tire problem i switched to michelins, and i have since sold the vehicle in 8/99. at the time of these problems, i was concerned as to the amount of blowouts i had, and until the recall came out i thought it might be of some relevance to you. i have all my original paperwork from firestone. many of the replacement tires i had carried in to the store so i don't have exact milage of the tires. i do possibly have at least one of these tires on my property but it would require some effort to retrieve and find it. i believe that the problem with these tires has been going on for a lot longer than firestone has led me to believe and i would be willing to help you in any way i can. i am also going to contact firestone' s website and give them this information as well. sincerely lisa r. king( dot number: ? tire size: p235-75-15 ) | |||
