Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“A bubble appear on the side wall from an apparent road divot. Since that incident I have 4 more tires with a bubble in them all the same tire brand. I am to accept this because buyer beware applies here. The possible traffic dangers this may cause should it be buyer beware or NHTSA get involved and mandate tire manufacturers provide a warning to the buyer.”
