Tire Sidewall Problems of Mazda B4000

While driving at 70mph in right lane on rural highway, I heard a thud and immediately lost control of the truck and was thrown into the left lane almost over the center line. I regained control of the truck and stopped on the side of the road. The tread on the driver back tire was completely peeled off, but the tire had not deflated. The back truck fender and fender guard was completely bent underneath the truck. The fender and guard in front of the tire was bent outward, with the support frame broken and the fender gueard sticking at a 90 degree angle out from the truck. When I took the tire off the truck, the entire tread was wrapped 3 times around the axle. Both back tires and the spare are the same firestones. On inspection of the other back tire, we have found cracks in the sidewall both near the center, as well as cracks near the tread along most of the tire.

During the first year of ownership, I had two tire failures. Both were sidewall separations, occcurring at low highway speed, with no visible cause on the road. These tires weren't warranted, and since the other two were almost new, to match them up, I had to buy 2 new ones from a firestone dealer. Since then I have had no more problems with the tires, but I felt that firestone should have warranted their tires against failure, and there was complete failure along the sidewalls. . I contacted the dealership, and they said there wasn't anything they could do. ( dot number: tire size: p225/70r15 ).
