“Bought used 2015 Altima sv 13 days ago. Brand new tires were put on before I took delivery. Three days ago, it started feeling like I have a flat tire, dragging the rubber, pulling, and swaying from rear when I park. Mpg is terrible, turns are wider, vibrates in steering wheel which worsens at higher speeds. Checked tires, saw 9 .25 weights on pass front wheel, 2 .25 weights on pass rear wheel, driver front wheel has glue without weights, driver rear wheel, same thing. Pass rear tire has 1/2 inch slope inside on top of tread, like it's separating. …”
NHTSA complaint #11320373, filed 2020-04, 34,443 miles“We purchased the car new in 2014 and always took it to the dealership to have oil changes and tire rotation. We noticed the low tire signal coming on from time to time. I got a small nail in the front tire and took it to a garage to get it removed. The car just turned over 40,000 miles. We told the attendant we were going on vacation the next week and he checked all 4 tires. That is when we found out that the 2 rear tires belts were breaking on the inside and the inside tire treads had unusual wear.no one should have to buy new tires with only 40,000 miles.”
