Example complaints
Tires: “I was driving a 1997 Toyota tacoma going about 65 MPH on I-45 north in houston texas when I had a tire blowout just before the airline exit. I lost control of my truck smashing into the concrete barricade on the freeway and doing a complete 360 circle on the freeway, luckily I didn't hit any one else. The tire that blew was a uniroyal p205/75r14ww unir as tire. The blowout occurred on the side wall of the tire. My pickup truck as far as I'm concerned is a total loss. When I bought the tires, the tires came with a 40,000 mile warranty, but that did not happen. …”
