What owners wrote
The left rear tire (dunlop grandtrek p265) of 2002 toyota tacoma blew out on ca 215 freeway (with speed of 60-70 MPH). I lost control of the vehicle, it spun and collided with another vehicle which resulted to minor physical injury to the other vehicle's driver. Original tires came from the dealership, carson toyota (california). Contacted toyota and the dealership--they gave us the run-around.
Two firestone tires on my truck blew out on the freeway within 10 days of eachother, while my wife was driving. This put her in extreme danger and a very unsafe situation.
