While refueling I noticed 3-4 or more places on the tire where thumbnail size chunks of rubber have come off of the tread.been to 1 firestone retailer & 1 firestone mastercare tire & service center company owned store. No one will help. Just keep getting run around & told to go to another store or call someone else. Made a dozen or more phone calls & visited two places as previously mentioned & still no help. I've also called the 800 465-1904 number. They just refer me back to a local store that I've already been to. Can you help?( dot number: w2vfnna178 tire size: p215/65r15 )
Tire servicer reported possible start of inner belt separation at seam, tire was returned to manufacturer for credit on a replacement( dot number: tire size: 215-65-r15 )
What is a "counter balanced tire?" nissan had to replace my original tires. It took them 22,000 miles to figure out the tires were defective. Wayne sims a service advisor at peltier, kept speaking of counter balanced tires, I have never heard of this. With this firestone scare, I'm afraid there are other sizes that have a problem and nissan knows about it. With only 2000 characters, I can't type everything I need to..( dot number: w2vf tire size: p215/65r15 )

I was travelling on the florida turnpike near orlando at 70mph when the steering wheel began to shake. I began to slow down, but the shaking became more violent. Suddenly, without warning, there was a terrific bang, the sound of tearing metal and the car began to fishtail. I was able to slow the vehicle and pull on to the shoulder. When I exited the vehicle I saw that the front, left tire had lost its tread. This incident caused $1500+ *akdollars of damage to the vehicle. It cost me $250 deductible and I also had to buy a new set of tires. I have pictures of the damaged tire. I went to a firestone dealer with the damaged tire and he told me that they wouldn't do anything because the tire had more than 30,000 miles on them. Am I entitled to recover the deductible I paid from firestone???*ak( dot number: tire size: p215/65r15 )
All but one of the original firestone wilderness ht tires blew, two tires blew while traveling 60 miles per hour almost wrecking the vehicle due to fishtailing. Yh
