Incident 1- occurred on may 20,2000. The front driver side tire stipped and peeled off while traveling on the highway. There was a big blow out sound and the car swayed but was safely pulled over. It caused considerable damage to the left front side. Firestone was notified. They processed the claim and paid for the repairs. The tire was sent back to them. Incident 2-- occured recently on jul 31 2000. The back tire on the drivers side stripped and blew out in a similar pattern while driving on a local steet. Firestone was again notified. They asked the tire be taken to a local dealer. We requested that they replace all the remaining tires us we feared driving with the remaining tires. Firestone declined to replace it but said would prorate it to the tread wear. We did not accept that us we feel that the tires were originally defective. Please inform us about any previous incidents similar to this if it exsisit. We still have two of those tires on the van. Please let us know of any exsisting problem so that we can take precautions. Thanking you . Sincerely. Nairs. *ak( dot number: tire size: lt225/75r1 )
