Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY TIRES INSPECTED TO SEE IF THEY WERE THE RECALLED ONES AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE NOT BUT ALL 4 TIRES ARE CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED. I AM AFRAID THEY WILL PEEL OFF AND I AM NOT WILLING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY DISTANCE. I AM ASKING YOU TO INCLUDE THESE TIRES IN THE SAFTEY RECALL OR AT LEAST GET ME NEW TIRES AT NO COST. WHY ARE THESE ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE RECALLED ONES AND THEY HAVE FAILED ALSO. (DOT NUMBER: VN TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)
