I have experienced what appears to be a side wall failure of a firestone light truck tire. The failure occurred shortly after entering the highway at a speed of approximately 65 MPH. While accelarating down the entrance ramp I noticed a vibration coming from the rear of the truck which stopped once I merged onto the highway at about 55 MPH. At that time I thought the vibration was due to rough pavement on the entrance ramp. A short time later, possibly 3 or 4 miles, the driver side rear tire blew. There was a slight loss of control as the rear end of the truck felt as if it were sliding from side to side. The truck noticeably leaned to the left . The exterior sidewall (facing the outside of the truck) of the tire had separated entirely leaving only a small ring of rubber around the rim of the wheel. I'm concerned that this is the type of failure that has occurred with other firestone tires. When I bought this truck I was told by the dealership that these tire were safe. *ak (dot number: ?
