Consumer Description

THESE TIRES HAVE NEVER HELD AIR THEY ALWAYS NEED TO BE REINFLATED. AFTER A 3 HOUR TRIP (WE MAKE THIS TRIP OFTEN) ACCROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE WE ALWAYS HAVE TO PUT AIR BACK INTO THE TIRES. GIVEN THE RESENT PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES FAILURE TO HOLE AIR WITH OURS SEEMS LIKE A "BIGGER" DEAL THAN WE HAVE THOUGHT. WHEN WE WENT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID OUR TIRES WERE NOT THE ONES ON THE RECALL. IF THE TIRES ARE SAFE THEN WE BELIEVE THEY SHOULD NOT BE REPLACED BUT.WE CANT GET ANYONE TO SAY THEY ARE SAFE? THE ONLY THING WE HAVE NOTICED IT THE AIR PRESSURE PROBLEM ON ALL FOUR TIRES/ AND THE TRUCK FEELING LIKE IT IS SCRAPING AROUND THE LEFT SIDE WITHOUT REGUARD TO TIRE ROTATION. I HAVE CHILDREN I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO TELL ME THAT THESE TIRES ARE INDEED SAFE AND WHY THEY WILL NOT HOLD AIR PROPERLY.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/75R15 )
