Tread seperated, then blew ou after traveling for 4 hours, mild day 80 deg. Just rebalanced and rotated tires less than 500 mils prior. No warning, no noticable tire wear or underinflation. Damage to truck was extensive, $1100 fender, tire, etc. Spoke w/ Firestone, they didnt give any aid, just send the tire to nashville, with clain form. I waited for 4 weeks then they sent check w/ simple explanation of damage covered. Since then I've no luck speaking w/ them concerning replacement tires or reasonable reparations on remaining 6 tires. Remaining tires are showing sidewall cracks and bulges. I will replace these tires myself, but will keep tires for claim / investigations. (dot number: Vdor1ww435 tiresize: Lt23585R16)
