Both front tires failed in about 10000 miles after installation. The tires both lost their integrity and bulged enough to produce a severe shimmy making the car hard to steer. No blowout or tread seperation occurred, but the tires were replaced without hesitation by a bridgestone dealer. Is there a problem with these tires?( dot number: 691q tire size: lt245/75r1 )

We were traveling home from st. Louis on father day, june 25, 1999, when we had a blow out on the left rear tire. The tire blew off and back perhaps hitting the trailer tires causing them to break friction with the road. The whole shebang started sliding sideways down the road and we ended up in the ditch headed south when we had been headed north. When the trailer tipped over it took the gmc with it. We were not injured. At that time we did not contact cooper tires. But when we went to pickup the gmc in springfield and return home stopping in mclean, we had another blowout this time on the rear passenger tire. We were going somewhat slower (fear slowed us to 45 or 50mph). This time the tire didnt come all the way off but damaged the just repaired fender and bumper and underneath of the gmc. Thats when we called cooper tires. They paid for the last repairs and replaced the 2 tires and rims. Our insurance company chose not to pursue subregation against the tire company for the 1st accident. Just thought that what is going on with the firestone tires is just too similar to what happened to us. We have heard of others who have had similar problems with tires. If you need any other information please contact us. Harry & cynthia zillion. *ak( dot number: tire size: l245/75r16 )
