Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“3/13 I bought a set of federal couragia mt 35x12.50x20 tires and 10 months later the steel belts separated causing tire failure. 2/14 I bought another set of the same tires and they separated after 8 months. Dot4113 is the serial number of the second set of tires. I do not have the serial number for the first set. I would not recommend these tires to anyone and what do I have to do to get compensated because federal will not get back in touch with me.”

NHTSA complaint #10763265, filed 2015-09, 110,719 miles“Purchased new 2008 f-250 on 3/21/09. Upon detailed insp of vehicle's undecarriage, I noticed the spare tire was 2 smaller than the road tires. 18 vice 20 . I was told by the dealer that this is standard practice. This truck was purchased with the intent of towing a fifth wheel camper. If I am 30-100 miles from civilization and have a flat, the tire size difference with the load on the truck can't be that safe. Is this a legal practice?”
