| Tread separated from the tire while travelling on ill toll 94. wife pregnant, her nephew and his girlfriend were with us. it scared the hell out of all of us. i have damage that firestone is giving me the run-around on how to make a claim with them. the firestone dealer in homewood, ill refused to replace the tire, and since i was out of town i paid for a replacement that i feel i should not have. it is obviously a tread separation (i kept the old tire and took photo's) i showed them the tire and they agreed that it was interesting but since it was not on the list no replacement. a midas technician told me today that another firestone tire on the vehicle is about to do the same thing. *ak (dot number: vdmo41a487 tiresize: p205/70r15) | |||
