What owners wrote

Tire seam blew out, in a perfect circumference, accompanied by profuse smoke. Extremely dangerous situation since I could not see what was happening to my car due to the smoke. I thought I blew a gasket. Brought tire to firestone dealer, where they did a soap test. No punctures were there except the complete breakdown of the seam on the outside of tire. They replaced it, however, they replaced it with anotherk wilderness tire.
