I was very frustrated with all 6 new firestone tires. Two of tires already blow out. Its look alike cheaper balloons. Its not high performance and quality. I tried to ask firestone dealers that two tires should change as warranty. Dealers said that no more warranty and just buy 6 dollars per tire as warranty per year. I can seem that firestone company ripped off and made bad quality. Thats why each firestone sell for over 60.00 dollars. I want to change two new firestone or other brand name as "goodrich" yes my wife and daughter rode the toyota on four lanes. She got accident that tire blow out and turn off on shoulder. Tire already crushed as paper... Hope to hear from you asap have good night thank you monroe wynn. *ak( dot number: dot tire size: p175/65r14 )
