NHTSA Complaint #11271444 — 2000 UTILITY TRAILER

ITS JUST TOLD BY UHAUL THAT DRIVING OVER 1500 MILES ON TWO DIFFERENT TIRES WITH TWO DIFFERENT TREADS WAS SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. WE DROVE THROUGH A STORM. SHE OFFERED ME A $65 REFUND. I PURCHASED A UHAUL IN NY AND DROVE OVER 1500 MILES WITH A DOLLY THAT HAD TWO DIFFERENT TIRE TREADS TO BE TOLD BY A MARKETING PRESIDENT THAT THE TIRES WERE OKAY TO DRIVE ON. ANY SANE PERSON KNOWS THAT DRIVING ON USING ALTERNATIVE TIRES FROM DIFFERENT TIRE CATEGORIES, WITH ALTERNATE SIZES OR DIFFERENT SPEED RATINGS CAN UNBALANCE THE VEHICLES HANDLING IN POOR WEATHER OR WHEN PUSHED TO THE LIMIT IN AN EMERGENCY. ONE OF MY COMPLAINTS WERE THE FACT THAT MY CAR WAS MY CAR PULLING TO ONE SIDE NOT THE RUST. BECAUSE TIRES PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN EVERY VEHICLES COMFORT QUALITIES AND HANDLING CAPABILITIES, IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO DRIVE ON TIRES THAT ARE IDENTICAL IN EVERY DETAIL, INCLUDING TIRE BRAND, MODEL, SIZE, AND REMAINING TREAD DEPTH. ANYTHING ELSE INVOLVES SOME TYPE OF COMPROMISE. THATS JUST COMMON SENSE. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!
