| While driving on interstate 65 n near seymour indiana our tire dissentigrated. we pulled over immediately and found 2 sides on the tire with the middle tread missing. we replaced all four tires within 1 day because of safety concerns. the rim was not damaged. the accident happened with 2 adults and 5 children in the van. this could have been a major tragedy. i have a picture of the damaged tire that i can email if necessary. i would like to be re-imbursed for the expense of the new tires. thanks!*ak( dot number: tire size: p215/70r15 ) | |||

| Please contact me at my work # 708-233-7305 and i will have the vin# and dot # available. the tread on my firestone tire separated and cause damage to the left front of my van. thankfully i was able to control the vehicle without striking another vehicle or a median (i was on a major expressway at the time) i have tried to file a claim through firestone and they are making an excuse that a nail hole will cause a tire to loose the tread as mine did. i have never heard of such a thing. please advise. thank you!!*ak | |||

| Complete sudden tread separation of tire at 73 mph, temp ~94 f, tread wrapped around right rear axle. took tire parts to olds dealer and tire dealer - they called it a blowout but in light of recent firestone problems i think this may be very similar. no road debris was evident as a cause for tire tread separation. perhaps others have had similar experiences with this make/brand of tire?*ak( dot number: e4 029015 tire size: p215/70r15 ) | |||
