On august 19 I was traveling at 65mph north bound on the 15 freeway in the #1 lane when the front end of my truck began to shimmy a bit and all of a sudden bam, the right front of my truck dipped and we were forced across 3 lanes of freeway, bounced off the embankment and stopped on the right shoulder of the I-15 at cajalco road off ramp. I went to ramona tire the next day and had the tire blow out replaced. on 8-20-99 I am again on the I-15 freeway and I feel my truck again start to shimmy, it was dark so exited the freeway and drove very slowly on side streets, upon my arrival home I looked at my tires and the left rear tire IS coming apart. on 8-22-99 I went back to ramona tire in hemet and had all 3 of the firestone tires replaced, paying of course for the prorate of tire use and balance and mount. the first blow out caused $1119.00 dollars of damage to my truck, destroying the right running board, bending the tire rim and causing damage to the wheel well. I have yet to be reimbursed by firestone for this damage. I had my 3 children in the vehcile with me on both of these occasions. firestones ontario office had requested that I pay to have the blown tire shipped to tenn. I have not done this, and still have the tire in my pocession. *ak( dot number: 32115015 tire size: 15 )
