ok so i need to do a fuel system cleaning and probably get new tires...now im not sure if i wana get tires from firestone...heard alotta crap about them...but as far as a system cleaning goes...should i get it from them...cuz seafoaming isnt working out for me....i dont know if im doing it right but...yeah just wanted to kno if they r dependable?

 

If foam isn't working it might not be a cleaning issue?

 

i have yokohamas on my car, theyre great. i had goodyear assurances on my avalon and those were by far the best tires ive ever had.

 

I had a set of tires put on my BMW 325ic at Firestone about five years ago in Westwood, Ca. I was going to go to Long Beach on the freeway right after but did not. The next morning I went a few miles on the street from home and the front left tire fell off!

Luckily I was moving slowly so all four lugs did not release, only three so the tire leaned on the caliper and hub (ruining the bearing)

They replaced the damaged parts. I was on my way out of town the next day so did not pursue anything but they did give me a free set of tires. (I made sure the wheels were torqued properly)

This is the rim leaning on the caliper. I took this picture while I waited for their tow truck.



I am replacing a set of Yokohama YK 520s on Monday with 30k miles on them, they are at the wear indicator and are 60k tires. I am getting 50% of the 130 per tire I paid back but my feeling is I should have at least a year left on worn out tires.
