NHTSA complaint #10946794, filed 2017-01, 17,560 miles“215/55 R 17 My right rear tire has been losing air for at least 6 months. My tire pressure light is constantly on. I had my tire inspected and was told all 4 tires are compromised. The mechanic told me that my tires were wavy??? and that the tread inside my tires were damaged and I needed to replace all 4 tires. He also said my car would not pass inspection because of this defect in the tires. I feel my safety is at risk because of the inconsistent pressure that the tires may blow at any time.”
