2000 Toyota 4RUNNER Tires Problems

“I contacted the firestone organization to possibly have the tire replaced because I had apprehensions about the tires, and they refused to replace them. The car was brand new and I felt the tires should have been replaced at no cost to me. (tiresize: 175/50r)( DOT number: tire size: 175/50r )”

“Salvaged cars and cars that were involved in accidents are being passed off as clean preowned safe cars. The carfax states one thing but the mechanics are finding the lies and the attempted cover ups. Major world located at 43-40 northern blvd. Long island city ny.
