The vehicle was taken to two different auto mechanics and they both recommended that the tires not be rotated because of poor tread. Prior to the failure, both rear tires were replaced. The technician also informed the contact that the failure was contributed to the suspension which caused the tires to prematurely wear. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The failure mileage was 10,000.”
