I HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED TO THIS SITE AND THE FIRESTONE CUSTOMER RELATIONS OF MY STEELTEX A/T TIRE CRACKING ON THE SIDE WALL. I WAS TOLD TO HAVE THEM CHECKED AT A FIRESTONE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE WAS NOT COMPROMISED. ON JULY 7, 2004, MY FAMILY AND I WERE ALMOST KILLED (MINOR INJURY) WHEN THE RIGHT FRONT FIRESTONE STEELTEX A/T TIRE EXPLODED, THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AS WE WERE TRAVELING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON I-85 NORTH. THIS IS A BAD PRODUCT AND I BELIEVE MY SUSPICIONS WERE CORRECT WHEN I PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINED TO EVERYONE.*AK
