    Tread/Belt

    Tire failure. New vehicle with less than 3,000 miles. Front passenger side tire blew out. Tire was replaced by firestone at no charge. Firestone personel maintain that driver ran over something and failure was caused by puncture. The size of the hole in the tread not consistent with that theory.
