No one in our vehicle was injured in our vehicle. We had contacted our dealer, Chevrolet, othe tire stores, and firestone/bridgestone. All basically said that it was our problem and that we had better get them changed because they are "death tires" and bridgestone hung up on us after they remarked that there is nothing wrong with their tires, it was because we didn't know how to drive a SUV.

The tire tread came apart and caused us to have a blowout on the freeway. We paid to have the tire replaced at a firestone dealer because the gm dealer told us it was a defective tire. The firestone dealer confirmed that there was no indication that we had run over any road hazards to cause the tire to come apart. We are trying to get gm to replace the tires with another brand since this is a brand new car. In light of recent news reports about these firestone tires, we are not comfortable driving with our family on these tires. We feel fortunate that we were able to get to the side of the road without having an accident and we don't want it to happen again. ( dot number: tire size: p265\70ri6 ).
Returning from a trip to al after having our Yukon xl for approx. 2 weeks, we had a blowout at 4am. We heard a clunk and about 15 minutes later, the blowout occurred. The tread totally separated. We were not reimbursed for the tire and had to buy another one. Now that we know firestone has a problem with these tires, we would like to be able to turn these tires in to firestone and get a complete refund and then go buy another brand of tires. Firestone has said they will inspect the tires for free and if they see any problem with any tire, they would replace that tire with another firestone tire. I don't want to keep the firestone tires. Can you help?( dot number: tire size: p265/70r16 ).
