While driving 45 MPH consumer heard a loud noise coming from the vehicle. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it home. Consumer noticed that the passenger rear tire tread separated, causing the tire to blow out. Vehicle was taken to a body shop for inspection.
We were driving on the interstate at 70 MPH when our right rear tire blew. The tread completely seperated from the tire. This is the second tire on our motor home to do this. We have firestone steel belted radials r4s lt 225/75 r16 m/s tires.
Catastrophic tread separation of firestone steeltex r4s tires. These are f/s 225/75r16 tires. I had two catastrophic tread separations within 300 miles on tires with approximately 21,500 miles. Firestone refuses to address the problem.
