Complete tire failure at speed. Managed to stop truck without crashing. Ford and firestone clained tire was puctured, however it came completely apart. Offered new tire and rim at cost. In 30 years of driving I have never had a tire fail so dramatically.*ak( dot number: wzuu ipo tire size: p225/70r15 )

While driving down a back road in a rain shower, truck begain to pull to the right.I stop the vehicle and looked at the tires and the right front tire was flat.I changed the tire and returned it to the ford dealer I purchassed the truck from because it appeared to me the tread was starting to seperate.as the tire only had 900 miles on it I fought with the dealer but lost and had to purchase a new tire to replace it.I contacted firestone dorect and was in formed that they wanted the tire before they would make do anything and I informed them that the dealer had the tire but that they had a major problem with their tires if they come apart at only 900 miles. They did agree to pay for half the cost of the tire only, and sent a check for appox. $45.00 after I sent them the invoice.( dot number: 027596 tire size: p245/75r16 )
I felt a small bump that I later found out was a soup bone that I ran over right after leaving my townhouse. I proceeded to route 97 going to work. I was traveling at 65 MPH when I heard a noise like a helicopter overhead and then the truck began to weave. I pulled over quickly and discovered my left rear tire totally off the rim and cut completely round the middle. After seeing the tire (which I still have) everyone has said I am lucky to be alive and I agree. I immediately went to my ford dealership and had the tire replaced and since the tires were due for rotation I had that done. I had no idea that this tire was causing problems for others as well.
