| Description of the problem | Firestone tires split on the side with less than average mileage. I purchased 4 tires approximately 03/10 16 months one tire had 2-3 splits on the side wall. Sears was unwilling to repair or replace the tire. On 03/12 i has a second tire with similar splits and sears replaced the tire because it was deemed faulty. They did not replace the other three tires. This tire model seems faulty and i am making a request that the manufacture replace/recall the tire for safety reasons. *js |
