What owners say
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)
