There is about a 4 to 5 inch long gap on the outer edge of the tread area where it has separated from the tire. I have called the firestone hotline number, but they told me that there is nothing they will do because my tire is not included in the recall. I would replace the tire, but I cannot afford to do that. I am on a tight budget. Firestone says their number 1 concern is customer safety. I don't think it is, or they would have already replaced my tire. (dot number: w2m3 tiresize: p215/70r15).
This car is not our primary means of transportation. We were travelling in the middle of the day with ideal conditions on m-69 20 miles east of perry at 65 mph with little traffic. The right rear tire disintregated down to the rim. Luckily we kept control of the car and used the small donut to get to perry to buy a tire. ( dot number: w2m3 ipm tire size: p215/70r15 ).
Tire separation causes extreme shaking of the vehicle at 30 miles per hour. I had the tire replaced immediately. ( dot number: tire size: 215/70/r15 ).
