Read complaints for FIRESTONE SUPREME RADIAL TIRE (Unknown)
Traveling 65 mph on interstate 275 north of tampa, florida at 10:30 p.m. On september 7, 2006 when the tread separated on a nearly new (6 week old) firestone tire.i nearly lost control of the vehicle, skidding sideways to the left and then to the right, almost over turning before being able to stop the vehicle.i also almost collided with another vehicle. The separating tread hit the left back wheel well, tearing out the wheel well cover, damaging the back bumper beyond repair and damaging the front of the wheel well cover and left back passenger side door.the florida highway patrol was called and a trooper kept his vehicle behind me with his emergency lights flashing while i changed the tire but he did not write a report.repairs will have to be made.
Going 70 mph and the tire tread ripped off like a fruit peel. The tire still had had all its air in it when i came to a stop. I did not crash and no body was hurt. I sent the tire to firestone for them to look at. They said the tire was not inflated correctly and it was my fault. My insurance co. Has paid for the cost of damage but not for my new tires. I would like to know if there is a class action suit that i might contact? i still have the tire with me. I asked firestone to send it back to me and they did. The tires were 60 thousand mile tires and i had about 30-40 thousand on them. I have pictures and a short video of the old tire and its mates showing the tread depth.
No summary listed for above vehicle.( dot number: tire size: 205-75r14 )
