Coming back home from a trip to niagra fall, our gmc suburban 1999 rolled over 5 times. One of the tire (driver side front) exploded and right rear back tire shredded. Which caused truck to rollover. We were in little falls, were taken to st. Elizabeth hospital in utica. Our oldest daughter 11 got the most injuries. She has gotten 60 stitches on her face etc. Air bags of the vehicle did not deploy. Wondering why ????

Tires maintained properly. When towing 8000 lb. Vacation trailer, 80 lbs. Rear, 50 lbs. Front. (mfgr. Spec.). Wheels equipped with tire sentry monitoring system which sound an alamr and blinking light on dash if tire pressure is lower than factory setting. While traveling south on hwy. 1999 near bakersfield, ca on a hot july afternoon (103 degrees) while towing 8000 lb trailer at freeway speed, the left rear suburban tire suddenly began viberating viloently, started to flap, lost tread and the blowout (this all happend very quickly). - submitted claim for tire and damage to vehicle to firestone and was the claim was denied. They said the tire had been operated for an unknow period of time with insufficient air pressure to carry load (this is not true) and that the failure did not result from a defect in either materials or workmanship. Point of interest: the suburban has been pulling to the right and I was going to have it aligned, however I replaced all 4 tires with michilins and now the truck does not pull to the right. I since have had the blowntire inspected by a tire dealer and they felt the tire was defective. - my next step is small claims court - however today I see there is a class action lawsuit against firestone on this very tire.
