While traveling on I 275 I experienced a flat tire. As soon as I felt my Explorer started to lose control I pulled over and found the right rear tire had gone flat. I installed the spare tire and the following day had the flat fixed upon reinflation I found that the sidewall had a buldge running from the rim to the tread of the tire. I took the tire to a firestone dealer and he informed me that the damage was my fault. That I must have hit something to cause the sidewall belts to break. I called firestone customer hotline and the told me to take it to a second dealer. The second dealer told me the same thing. I also ask them what there warranty covered and they said manufacturing defects I ask what a manufaturing defect was and he could not tell me. If you look at there warrenty you will find that they do not cover anything . It is written so that anything that goes wrong is the users fault. I belive that if you have a flat you should be able to get off the road and change it and not have to buy a new tire as a result of it. ( dot number: tire size: p255/70r16 ).
