I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH SOMEONE THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE ON MARCH 21ST .WHILE TRAVELLING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY IN FLORIDA WHEN MY CAR HAD A BLOW OUT AT ABOUT 60 MPH AFTER EXAMINING THE TIRE I FOUND THAT THE TREAD HAD COME APART FROM THE TIRE .ONCE I SAW THIS I TOOK THE TIRE TO FIRESTONE FOR THE SECOND VISIT TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM .THEY INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NORMAL FOR BLOW OUTS.I THEN PROCEEDED TO FORD TO SHOW THEM THE TIRE WHO INSISTED THE SAME THING .I THEN BOUGHT NEW TIRES FROM FORD AS I WAS AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY BACK IN THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT BEFORE I DISCARD THE TIRE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM YOUR AGENCY EXAMINE THIS TIRE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2CU TIRESIZE: P255/70R16)
