| The first tire right front had a blow out in june on hwy i65 in birmingham alabama. i replaced this tire. the second failure was one week later. 30 miles south of columbia s.c. going 70 mph, i had a right rear tire sepration. it did over $1000 damage to our automobile. one week later upon returning from myrtle beach, s.c. again about 10 miles north of columbia s.c. i heard a weird noise coming from the left rear tire. i drove to a pep boys auto shop on a sunday and had the tire check. i was informed that it had a bubble in the center at several spots and was beginning to seprate. i then had that tire and the remaining tire replaced. i had to replace all 4 tires with a two week period in june 2000. my original tire dealer had sold the business so the new owner did not have records on the type of tires that was on my car. all i know was that brigstone was written on the sides. i was in south carolina when i had to replace 3 of the 4 tires so i could not save the tires as proof. i do have records of having to replace the tires and the dates. i did not know about any problems with brigstone/firestone tires and since the tires were about 2.5 years old, i didn't think much of it. but based what has happend lately, i thought i should report this. i don't expect brigstone to do any thing for me except loose me as a customer, but i think they should be notified. thank you. douglas l. gilbert.( dot number: ? tire size: 205/65r15 ) | |||
