Consumer Description

MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING UP FROM FLORIDA WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN. I FELT THE CAR SLIPPING ON THE ROAD SO I MOVED OVER INTO THE FAR RIGHT HAND LAND. THE CAR SLIPPED AGAIN AND I HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED CAR ON NOV. 29TH DUE TO TIRES THAT WERE ONLY 6MONTHS OLD. I FELT THESE NEW TIRES HAD BEEN WORN SMOOTH AFTER ONLY 10,000 MILES OF USAGE WITH A CAR THAT HAD NO BRAKE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. THE TIRES WERE FULL OF AIR AT THE RIGHT PRESSURE AND I NOTICED NO TREAD ISSUES BEFORE LEAVING OUT OF TOWN. WHEN FILLING OUT THE POLICE REPORT, THE OFFICER WROTE ME A TICKET CLAIMING THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE TIRES. WE HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT IN A HOTEL AND PURCHASED NEW TIRES THE NEXT DAY. I STILL RETAIN THE TIRES. *TR
