| 1990 chrysler tc with 4 firestone ss-10 firehawk 205/60/r15 tires. two of the tires have started to separate and had to be replaced. i have the most recent one. no external damage, always properly inflated. both tires had similar bulge in outer perimeter of tread in same area. can deliver to firestone for study. just want a new tire to replace the defective one. local firestone dealer gave ?!@#$% story that tires are only guaranteed for 3 or 4 years dispute tread wear and i should replace them all immediately based on age (he said 4 yrs old). he wants to give me $20 allowance each even though more than half the tread is left and the tires list for $74 each(current model is firestone indy 500). *ak | |||
