Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FALL 2012 AND NOTICED THE ORIGINAL TIRES HAD DELAMINATED AND WORN HORRIBLY IN THE FRONT . WE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH ALIGNMENT WITH TOP OF THE LINE NOKIA WHICH SHOULD HAVE GIVEN US 70K WEAR. WE GOT READY FOR A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP FROM WASHINGTON TO FLORIDA. WE DISCOVERED THE TIRES NEEDED REPLACING BECAUSE OF REALLY UNEVEN WEAR ON THE INSIDE. WE DECIDED TO REPLACE THEM WHEN WE ARRIVED IN FLORIDA. WE GOT THEM INSTALLED AND HAD ANOTHER FOUR WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE. WE ARE HOPING THEY WON'T NEED ANOTHER SET FOR AT LEAST 60K MILES. READING THESE COMPLAINTS I'M NOT SO SURE NOW. WE SPENT $900 ON THE SET OF NOKIA HOPING THEY WOULD LAST. I'LL BE REALLY UPSET IF WE ONLY GET 20000 MILES OUT OF THIS NEW SE . IS THIS A VEHICLE PROBLEM?? *TR
