THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I HAD A BLOW OUT OF MY TIRE ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT HURT OR ANYONE ELSE WAS HURT. IT WAS EARLY WHEN THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I FEEL THAT ALL OF THE FIRESTONE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE TIRES AT THIS TIME. AND I HAVE TO TRAVEL 120 MILES A DAY TO WORK. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE AND THEY MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY AS ME.*AK (DOT NUMBER: V6UN 1PH TIRESIZE: P205/60R15)
