Consumer Description

2 COUNTRY SQUIRE TIRES LT245/75/16 THREW THEIR TREAD BELTS FOR NO REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY. THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT IF THESE TIRES HAD BEEN ON THE FRONT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK WITH THE MFG. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHO THE MFG. WAS AND REPLACED ONE OF THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY SQUIRE 245/75/16. THE OTHER TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH A SUMMIT TIRE WITH SIMILAR TREAD. I PAID FOR BOTH TIRES. WHEN THESE TIRES BLEW MY FENDER WAS DENTED & THE SHROUDS ABOVE THE TIRE WERE DESTROYED. MY MUD FLAPS WERE TORN OFF. DEALER REFUSED TO MAKE ANYTHING RIGHT. TOUGH LUCK. I STILL HAVE THREE OF THESE TIRES ON MY PICKUP. WHAT DO I DO? THESE TIRES HAD ONLY BEEN ON MY PICKUP FOR FOUR MONTHS WHEN I HAD TROUBLE. *AK
