“1.) tire #1 was punctured by a piece of gravel at about 25,000 miles 2.) tire #2 mechanic refused to rotate tires because belt was separating from tire. Tires were bought new august 2014. Tires have less than 34000 miles”
NHTSA complaint #10885148, filed 2016-07, 25,000 miles“Manufacturer claims road hazard not tire defect. However, the tire dealer says that these wheels and tires will continue to fail because they are not appropriate for nj roads. We have a mercury sable which we have driven on the same roads for the equivalent average mioleage without tire failure. At these mileages three tire failures in a month is more than we think is normal for a car being driven on normal city streets and highways. We will continue to talk to the dealer, however at this point they will not take any responsibility. (DOT number: xtcuco41 2)”
NHTSA complaint #742290, filed 2001-03“Sidewall of the tire failed. There was no unusual road condition to initiate failure. Manufacturer claims tire failure resulted from impact which is not covered under warranty. (tiresize: 205/55/r16)( DOT number: tire size: 205/55/r16 )”
