Consumer Description

FIRST OF ALL, I CANNOT SAY WITH ANY CERTAINTY WEATHER THE ISSUE IS WITH THE AUTOMOBILE OR THE FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES. I CAN ONLY SUSPECT IT IS WITH THE AUTOMOBILE BASED ON 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE OF OWNING AND OPERATING AUTOMOBILES. 1. EXCESSIVELY LOUD NOISE FROM THE FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES. 2. AFTER 19,000 MILES ALL 4 FACTORY ORIGINAL TIRES ARE WEARING DOWN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TREAD ONLY. 3. I WAS OFFERED A NEW SET OF TIRES FROM THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER AT A REDUCED COST. *TR
