National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has twice asked Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. for test results on its steel belted radial tires. Agency chief Joan Claybrook says Firestone did not provide information, with dismissal that the request was too broad. The agency filed suit in Washington to obtain the tests and earlier found a preliminary safety defect in the steel belted radial 500 series. Firestone asserts the tires are safe despite about 13 million sold.
