ON THE AFTERNOON OF JULY 11, THE TREAD ON MY LEFT REAR TIRE CAME APART. BEFORE I COULD STOP AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE TREAD BEAT THE SIDE OF MY CAR CAUSING IN EXCESS OF $2,300 DAMAGE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY COVERED $1,800 OF THE DAMAGE. I FEEL THAT FIRESTONE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REST OF THE DAMAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN I HAD THE SPARE TIRE INSTALLED, I DID NOT SAVE THE OLD TIRE. I HAD ALL THE TIRES REPLACED THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND DID SAVE THE OTHER THREE. I HAD TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME OF THE TIRE SEPARATION THAT CAN VERIFY THE EVENT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/60R16 )

CONSUMER WILL FILL IN THE INFORMATION CONCERNING AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON/OFF. *AK
