2003 Subaru Legacy, purchased in July, 2003, with four firestone p20555r16 tires (potenza re 92, m+s). Left front tire blow-out @ 70 mph on interstate while passing a semi, with vehicles behind on both sides. Awd system enabled me to safely move into the right lane and off the road. Tire fully exploded, with only rim left. Took car to dealership, tire under warranty, but dealer would not replace under warranty, even though the tread was not worn (22,000 miles), based on circumference measurement of tire compared to spare which is supposed to be the same circumference. In 30 years of driving, I never experienced a tire blowout, and this is the first time I've had firestone tires on a car. The auto dealer informed us, as well, that all 4 tires would need to be replaced due to the awd system, and none would be under warranty even though these are new tires with little tread loss.

My wife had rightt front tire blowout @ 65 miles an hr. I had these tires repaced yesterday 9-13-2000 . I was afraid for her to drive the car with these tires on it . The tire air pressure was maintained per the manufactures specs. The lt rear tire has a broken belt and its a shame I spent my good money for such poor tires with such a rich price tag,that are suppose to have been the best on the market .
