Firestone 710 tires. Less than 20,000 miles, tread is gone, does not handle on ice and snow. Tires are sold in Minnesota, were it snows a lot. Tires rotated once so company will not stand by 65,000 mile warranty. Highway miles, no reason for tread to have worn off so soon. Please check if tire is defective and if should be sold in areas where it snows quite often. I have almost gone off the road many times this winter, seems like your gliding on air.
