The tires in question have the same defects that have been shown on national t.v. The sides of my tires have blistered and are peeling along with a faint line where the tread was attached to the rest of the tire. Do I have to have an accident or have a fatality before somthing or someone will contact me ? I have called and a report has been taken several times to firestone with a comment that some one from consumer affairs will be in contact with me. My first report of my problem with these tires was 9-5-00. I have lost my job and falling behind on bills. I cannot afford a new set of replacement tires nor can I afford an auto accident. Will you please help me? Sincerely, david saraceni( dot number: hyhl tire size: p235/75r15 )
