The lower paxton police department suggested I report this problem - the officer thought we had a case of tire separation. The Firestone dealer said it was not tread separation. The tire was not repairable. When the tire blew out, (my husband was driving), it pulled him over to the far edge of the other lane of traffic. Fortunately, there was no oncoming traffic. Our Ford dealer (maguires of hershey) told us it was not a Ford problem, and sent us to a Firestone dealer. (dot number: W2hl (457) tiresize: P235/75R15)
