Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS SUV (BRAND NEW, 0 MILES) TWO OF THE TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES ON THEM. I NOTICED THEM DURING A WEEKLY INSPECTION THAT I PERFORM ON THE VEHICLE. I HAD THOSE TWO TIRES REPALCED BY A LOCAL TIRE STORE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER A 3RD. TIRE DEVELOPED A BUBLE. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE REMAINING TWO ORIGINAL TIRES REPLACED. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE ON THE VEHICLE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND. I DIDN'T GET THE NUMBERS OFF OF IT HOWEVER, WITH THE DEFECTS ON THE OTHER ORIGINAL TIRES OF THIS VEHICLE I WOULD BET IT IS ONE OF THE TIRES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL.
