Drove my truck one day all was fine. Drove it the next day and felt a strange vibration. While driving I noticed the truck wanted to keep pulling hard to the right.

On 6/6/00, while driving home with 2 carpool passengers the left rear tire disintegrated at 70 MPH in 105 degree heat.

They threw away the firestones and I have no record of them, but I do have a record from my local goodyear dealear when I took the truck soon after I bought it with a complaint of a strong pull to the right.
