Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND BACK LEFT TIRE EXPLODED, THE COMPLETE SIDE WALL ALL THE WAY AROUND BLEW OUT. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH LOSING AIR AND I GOT NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED I EVEN PRINTED OUT COMPLAINTS OTHERS HAD WITH THE SAME TIRES AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED WEAR AND TEAR. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AUG OF 2012 AND ITS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. I AM ALSO HEARING MORE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS. I HAVE A COMMERCIAL LIC., AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY FOR AN UNSKILLED DRIVER. I FEAR FOR MINE AND OTHERS SAFETY. I HAD MY TIRES REPLACED AT WAL-MART. *TR
