Consumer Description

2 MONTHS AGO ADVISED BY WALMART THAT TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING. 3 WEEKS AGO TOOK CAR IN TO MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED TIRE WAS SEPARATING AND THAT ALL 4 TIRES NEEDED REPLACING DUE TO AGE AND DRY ROT. WENT BACK TO SAM'S CLUB BECAUSE I STILL HAD ABOUT 40% LEFT ON MY WARRANTY. THEY ONLY WOULD COVER THE ONE SEPARATING AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHER 3 TIRES. TODAY, DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, THE TREAD PEELED OFF THE TIRE DAMAGING MY CAR BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT. ALSO FOUND OUT THE TIRE WAS MANUFACTURED OVER ONE YEAR BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. PLEASE CRACK DOWN ON RETAILERS SELLING OLD TIRES AND NOT HONORING WARRANTES AND TELLING PEOPLE TO DRIVE ON DANGEROUS TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW UPDATED 11/02/2017*CN
