TIRE DE-TREADED AT 75 MPH. I WAS TRAVELING FROM HOME WHEN THE DE-TREAD OCCURRED. THE DEALER WHOM I PURCHASED A NEW REPLACEMENT TIRE FROM (FULTON, MO) FORGOT TO PLACE THE DAMAGED TIRE IN MY CAR. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I WENT TO A FIRESTONE FACILITY EXPECTING THE TIRE TO BE IN MY TRUNK AND FOR FIRESTONE TO REPLACE UNDER THEIR WARRANTY AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, THEY INFORMED ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME UNLESS I HAD THE ACTUAL TIRE. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD CALL THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT. NEVER RECEIVED REIMBURSEMENT - HOWEVER, OF MORE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO ME RIGHT NOW IS THE NEED TO FIND A FORUM TO REPORT THAT DE-TREADING IS OCCURRING ON TIRES OTHER THAN THOSE BEING RECALLED AND AT TIMES OF THE YEAR THAT ARE NOT EXCESSIVELY HOT. I HAD HAD THE TIRES INFLATED AND CHECKED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO MY TRIP, SO I'M CONFIDENT IT WASN'T DUE TO UNDERINFLATION. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE OTHER THREE TIRES REPLACED AND ARE NOT USING FIRESTONE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 185/65R14 )

I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED WITH ALL 6 NEW FIRESTONE TIRES. TWO OF TIRES ALREADY BLOW OUT. ITS LOOK ALIKE CHEAPER BALLOONS. ITS NOT HIGH PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY. I TRIED TO ASK FIRESTONE DEALERS THAT TWO TIRES SHOULD CHANGE AS WARRANTY. DEALERS SAID THAT NO MORE WARRANTY AND JUST BUY 6 DOLLARS PER TIRE AS WARRANTY PER YEAR. I CAN SEEM THAT FIRESTONE COMPANY RIPPED OFF AND MADE BAD QUALITY. THATS WHY EACH FIRESTONE SELL FOR OVER 60.00 DOLLARS. I WANT TO CHANGE TWO NEW FIRESTONE OR OTHER BRAND NAME AS "GOODRICH" YES MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER RODE THE TOYOTA ON FOUR LANES. SHE GOT ACCIDENT THAT TIRE BLOW OUT AND TURN OFF ON SHOULDER.
