| Truck tires we were traveling along i 75 when a truck's trailer tire exploded causing the truck swearve towards us forcing us to change lanes to miss the truck and tire piieces. on this trip we saw 4 other trucks have flat tires and at least 10 places on the road we had to avoid pieces of truck tires that had exploded. in 20 years of making this trip i never saw this many truck tires exploded. | |||

| I have written previously about my 2000 oldsmobile alero, clearly from the earliest of complaints which i share with other owners, gm does not care about the problems from brakes, tires, intake gaskets, windows braking, blower motors going, no dipsticks for transmission lines, i could go on and on, the message i receive is through the list of complaints you don't investigate and assist in finding a solution and gm/oldsmobile could give a ?!@#$% about the junk they produced and made millions on at the lack of safety for consumers. i pray that oldsmobile steps up and admits they made defaulted cars when it came to the oldsmobile alero, and while many of us have probably already paid the cars payments off, the lease they could do is offer a $10,000 rebate to purchase another car. heck perhaps i should contact the attorney generals of each state and my own attorney for a possible lawsuit. to all of you other owners of this piece of junk, i sympathize with you, but it takes more than one voice, i too contacted gm and was completely ignored as well. no more buying american made again!!! *tr | |||

| I have firestone supreme radial tires on my 94 cutless sierra. about a month ago one went flat. i noticed tread separtion at the site of the flat but discounted it. yesterday while driving on a smooth interstate my other front tire same brand had the entire tread separate. the tire remained inflated as i pulled off the road. my two rear tires are the same model and i am conserned about the safety of these tires. i had checked the pressure in all 4 tires less than a week ago and they were to manufatoror specs. | |||
