While driving vehicle 70mph, felt the front starting to vibrate. Had pulled over and checked tires. The right front tire had a large bubble. The tread was starting to separate. Went to an independent tire dealer and the spare tire replaced the blown tire. Not original tires. Firestone fr 480 p215/70r14 ts

Tires were purchase at costco wholesale. These tires seem to have a weaker sidewall than the others tires they sale. Possibly a safety hazard. These tires were warranted to 80,000 miles. S.

We bought this tires in november at robertson tires in tulsa, ok. I was driving down the road and the tire just separated from the rim. I took pictures of the tire and went to see if they would fix it and they said that they would have to charge me $40 to replace that tire. They couldn't change all the tires because they didn't come with the truck. My mom had the same problem with wild country tires and firestone ended up replacing all 4. This is the second time in my life that I have seen a tire separate like that and was wondering if there was anything I can do to get all 4 replaced or do I have to go ahead and pay to get that one fixed and pray that the others don't seperate like that one? The tire is a firehawk ss20 rwl p215/70r14. I am scared to drive on these tires. I have 2 kids that ride around in the vehicle with me and what happens if anymore blow and is fatal? I have the receipt for the tires and pictures of it and need to know what to do. I will wait to do anything more until I hear from you. I will be calling the corporate office of robertson tire and firestone. Any information that you can give me or help me with would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, tammy. *ak (dot number: hyhyf21529 tiresize: p215/70r14)

The tire failed as my wife approached the off ramp to our house off the freeway. The tire was quite destroyed and the one on the other side was also unsafe(although the tread looked good), both were replaced and I no longer have the good tire I do have the destroyed tire. I entered the tire size by the size of the replacments my garage installed, assuming they were the same size. *ak( dot number: destroyed tire size: p215 75r15 )
