THEY TOOK IT APART AND DISCOVERED THE INNER LINER OF THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY COMING APART AND TURNING INTO POWDER.

THE TIRES WERE NEVER RAN LOW AND WERE CHECKED ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS SERVICED EVERY 2,000 MILES. I STILL HAVE THE "TIRE" AND THE REST FROM THE SAME MATCHED SET, I REMOVED THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME AS THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED! THE TIRE CAN BE MOUNTED AND INFLATED AND WILL NOT LOOSE PRESSURE, WITH OUT ANY DISTORTION, OR ANY SIGNS OF A POTENTAL PROBLEM. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE PILE OF RUBBER FROM THE INNER LINER INSIDE THE TIRE THAT KEPT SHIFTING AROUND THROWING THE TIRE BALANCE MATHINE OFF IT WOULD HAVE NEVER CAUGHT. OR UNTIL THE AIR INSIDE ESCAPED INTO THE CORD BODY CAUSEING THE CASEING TO SEPERATE.IT IS CLEARLY A "MANUFACTURING DEFECT" AND BECAUSE THE REST OF THAT SET WAS FROM THE SAME PRODUCTION RUN, WE DO NOT BELIEVE FIRESTONES EXPLANATION AND DID NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THE REST OF THAT SET.
