Numerous blow out and shredding of firestone low profile tires. The tires lose air pressure very quickly within weeks of filling & this often leads to the tire heating up and catastrophic side wall failure. Most of the time the shredding occurs on the inside of the rim and is not visible from the outside. The dealer tried to blame me for not having an alignment done which in fact (proof of receipts) an alignment was conducted one month prior to a blow out last year 2014. The dealership and the firestone corporation failed to provide as required by law the dot notifications of each of the blow out info. Severe financial stress was incurred for every time each of the incidents were realized. One of the tires involved: dot 9upl ooa 1014 sp1963-02.
