Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST FALKEN TIRE AND DISCOUNT TIRE DIRECT REGARDING A TIRE SOLD AS THE FALKEN ZIEX ZE-912. THIS TIRE IS BEING SOLD AS AN ALL-SEASON TIRE. IT IS IN FACT A SUMMER TIRE. THE TIRE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRACTION IN THE SNOW AND SINCE I PURCHASED THE TIRES I HAVE BEEN IN AT LEAST THREE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE I COULD NOT SAFELY STOP MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALL-SEASON AND WINTER TIRES, BUT I HAVE PURCHASED ALL-SEASON TIRES BEFORE THAT OFFER SAFE BRAKING PERFORMANCE IN SNOW AND SLUSH CONDITIONS. I AM COMPLAINING AGAINST DTD AS A MAJOR RESELLER OF TIRE PRODUCTS BECAUSE THEY MARKET THIS TIRE AS AN ALL SEASON PRODUCT NEGLECTING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE BUYING PUBLIC OF OFFERING SAFE PRODUCTS. *TR
