On 2-8-99 I noticed the sidewalls on the 4 tires on the ground were starting to serperate. I took my truck to firestone dealer, he looked at my tires. Called firestone, and replaced all 4 tires with same style and kind. I was told thy had a defect in sidewall and could blow out. I have been scared of these tires as they just dont look right. I believe this to be faulty tires, I noticed friday that these tires are being questioned by you, and should be as I feel they are unsafe. (tiresize: 23585r16)( dot number: tire size: 23585r16 )
