Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 55 IN NJ AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE POPPED AND SHE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE SHOULDER. A DRIVER FOR NJDOT ARRIVED AND TOLD US THE TIRE WAS DRY ROTTED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD US THE TIRE WASNT DEFECTIVE. I'M NOT AN EXPERT BUT I FEEL THE TIRE MAY BE DEFECTIVE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 20,00 MILES AND WE HAD THE CAR IN A WEEK PRIOR AND THE TIRES WERE WRITTEN UP AS HAVING 8/32".NEXEN TIRE. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES ENCLOSED. PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE THE DEFECTIVE TIRE IN OUR POSSESSION ALONG WITH A ANOTHER TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE.
