While driving on a freeway at approx 65 mph I had a blowout. The tire tread was shredded and separated from the tire, just as in the SUV tires that are being recalled by firestone. I brought the tire to a firestone/bridgestone dealer for replacement and they determined that the tire was not defective. They said I had probably run over a nail or piece of glass. I have never before seen a puncture cause a tire to shred the way this one did. In light of the current firestone recall, I urge you to force firestone/bridgestone to expand the investigation and scope of this recall. If possible and warranted, I would like to have my tires replaced. At the very least. I would like to be reimbursed for the one tire that I had to replace myself.
