Consumer Description

I HAVE PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING 2 TIRES AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DEVELOPED A SIDEWALL BULGE WHEN I WAS REVERSING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THE SAME FAMILY OF TIRES HAVE A RECALL, AND WHILE MY SET ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT APPEARS THAT THE BULGE WAS DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT (PER MY MECHANIC) AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE IS UNSAFE TO RIDE ON, SO I AM USING THE FULL SPARE AT THE MOMENT. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER , GITI TIRES, AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE TIRE IS PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING 2, 215/55/16, DOT NUMBER IS Y9JM CLHX 1515.
