The tire blew while turning left on an up hill curve. Approximately 95% of the front sidewall shredded. No visable defects in the sidewall or tread. This occured after 3.5 hours of continuous driving at speeds from 55 - 75.( dot number: Vn11bab tire size: P245/75R16 )
Experienced a blowout on left rear tire while towing a travel trailer. Was able to pull over to shoulder without incident. Put spare on. The Firestone dealer treated the event like "it happens all the time". did not make me very happy. Alluded to maybe I did not have enough air in tires. Told him to go check, but he declined. Still did not make me very happy. Had to purchase a road hazard warranty for the new tire. This sure did not make me happy!!( dot number: V611B1A tire size: 245/75R16 )

The tire blew out while driving at highway speed. The entire side wall blew out completly. The police said they had never seen such a failure before. I am concerned that this is related to the current Firestone tire defects. This vehicle is used to Transport children with and there were 4 occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Luckily no one was injured.( dot number: Tire size: Lt24575R16 )
Front passenger side tire showed cupping, now all 4 tires show sidewall cracking and tread cracking (both on the tread face and sidewall). Tire life I almost over at less than 24000 miles desspite proper inflation and rotation ccndducted since vehicle was purchased. Dunlop tires installed on another vehicle at same adress for a longer period of time andd with mucch greater mileage show none of these signs.( dot number: Urbm053261 tire size: LT245/75R1 )
