While refueling I noticed 3-4 or more places on the tire where thumbnail size chunks of rubber have come off of the tread.been to 1 Firestone retailer & 1 Firestone mastercare tire & service center company owned store. No one will help. Just keep getting run around & told to go to another store or call someone else. Made a dozen or more phone calls & visited two places as previously mentioned & still no help. I've also called the 800 465-1904 number. They just refer me back to a local store that I've already been to. Can you help?( dot number: W2vfnna178 tire size: P215/65R15 )

I was travelling on the Florida turnpike near orlando at 70mph when the steering wheel began to shake. I began to slow down, but the shaking became more violent. Suddenly, without warning, there was a terrific bang, the sound of tearing metal and the car began to fishtail. I was able to slow the vehicle and pull on to the shoulder. When I exited the vehicle I saw that the front, left tire had lost its tread. This incident caused $1500+ *akdollars of damage to the vehicle. It cost me $250 deductible and I also had to buy a new set of tires. I have pictures of the damaged tire. I went to a Firestone dealer with the damaged tire and he told me that they wouldn't do anything because the tire had more than 30,000 miles on them. Am I entitled to recover the deductible I paid from Firestone"?"( dot number: Tire size: P215/65R15 )
