Example complaints

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

“Tire traction unacceptably low. Tires spin on take-off and skid on attempting to stop. The problem is tremendously worse on wet road than on dry road, but still poses danger even on dry road. The problem is also getting worse as the tires get older. They were purchased in october of 1999. When the tires slide or spin, they make very little noise and leave no marks. They are also showing virtually no wear. They have been driven approximately 14,000 miles. (tiresize: 175/70r13)( DOT number: tire size: 175/70r13 )”
