Complete tire # P215/60R15 93T MT5, tpc spec1139M6, #027487. Tire seperated/peeled off from right rear rim as I was driving on freeway at app 65mph. I replaced this tire with the same brand & size & am concerned because of what occurred on my car as well as the problem that Firestone is presently experiencing. Quite frankly I am wondering if these tires are safe and am concerned about a potential safety hazard. I have the receipt for the replacement tire.( dot number: Tire size: P215/60R15 )
