Had a defective firestone steeltex blow out on a rear passenger side 1999 ford pickup while towing a boat. The tires were very low mileage and had the proper amount of inflation. The entire sidewall of the tire disentegrated. The tire has been sent to firestone , akron facility for a review by experts to try and determine the reason for the failure. The blowout was very violent causing body damage to the wheel well of the truck. It is fortunate that the failure occurred on the rear of the truck as a failure on the front could have caused loss of control of the vehicle. The tires were immediately removed from the vehicle and i still have them minus the actual blowout which was sent to the firestone facility as indicated above.
Frontal tiresproduced bubbles,and currently started to separate.

While driving my 2000 ford f-350 on freeway 80 west from davis ca, the right rear firestone steeltex atx size 245/75x16 developed a large bubble and tread separation.tire is factory supplied original with only 30,760 miles on it, tread still has 25% of depth left.tire was always noted to have run hotter than the others, but did not give any warning that failure was emmanent. When i questioned 2 firestone dealers about the high rate of failure for their tires, i was told that these tires have always been good and this has not been a problem.when i questioned them about getting a settlement toward buying another brand of tire, they got quite upset and defensive, refusing to do anything except a prorated amount toward a new firestone tire.i told them i was not interested in having another firestone tire, and they would not do anything else.i was not at all happy about the way i was treated, or about having to shell out for all new tires, since i don't trust the firestone tires remaining on this truck.
