Please see my e-mail of sept. 4 Wherein I described the tire failure fully. Our tire shredded as we were driving on the interstate and apparently we are lucky not to be injured physically...Or worse. However, I am furious that firestone dealers were not only still selling the tires the week before the announced recall, but when questioned assured me - when I actually questioned whether I wanted to put any more of these tires on my car ( I now have four firestone/bridgestones!) - They assured me they were "good tires". Please call me or locate that e-mail or I would be glad to fax it.( Dot number: )
