Consumer Description

THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON A CURVE, IN WINTER, THOUGH THERE WAS ONLY 6725 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID IT MUST BE THAT I WAS PARKING ON CURBS AND IT WAS MY FAULT. I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND HARDLY EVER PARK AT CURBS, SO THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. I DIDN'T REPORT IT UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
