| On september 22, 2000 at about 9:00 p.m. i was on i-10 westbound about 15 miles east of san antonio city limits. my driver rear side firehawk blew-out at a speed of about 65 m/p/h. my truck swirved slightly but i managed to pull it on the shoulder. i came out and discovered that the tire's whole tread had completely came off, this blow-out also managed to break my driver's side running board. i changed tires and proceeded to laredo, tx, my destination. when home, i contacted firestone and they asked for me to send them the damaged tire, reciepts of any charged incurred due to the blow-out, two estimates to repair my truck, and the reciept of the shipping fee. i have tried to get my remainding four tires exchanged at a firestone tire location but due to them not being the on recall, they can do nothing for me. i would appreciate any and all information available on the problems of the firehawk ss10 type of tires.*ak (dot number: vdr7jbao98 tiresize: p275/60r15) | |||
