| Left front tire was found flat - spare put on and flat tire was taken to firestone dealer at 5110 west saginaw in lansing, mi - tire had a split running completely around the inside sidewall, the other three tires had the same split running completely around the tire - the dealer stated that the tires were unsafe and recommended that they be replaced - the tires all had 8/32 tread remaining. i feel you should take a look at all the tires made at the decatur plant - also i contacted firestone several time right after i purchased these tires to try and find out want the proper inflation was for these tires on my bronco and none of the people i talked to could tell me what the proper pressure should be so i ran them at the pressures recommended for the stock tires. i feel that these tires should have been replaced at no cost to me, but the only chioce i was give was warranty replacement where i had to still pay a prorated price for the replacement tires.( dot number: vdyk6ta057 tire size: 32x11.5r15 ) | |||
