My car was driving very shaky and the alignment was off significantly. this lasted approximately two days before my front left tire blew up in front of my residence which caused the left frame to pop out. the front left tire was a firestone supreme si p185-65r14 m+s. i also have a right front tire of the same tire brand and model that has significant tread wear, which causes me great concern. *tr
