Consumer Description

I TOOK MY SATURN FOR IT'S YEARLY INSPECTION AT MY LOCAL SATURN DEALER. THEY TOLD ME MY DRIVERSIDE FRONT TIRE WAS WORN, BUT NOT DUE TO NORMAL WEAR, THE TREADS WERE READY TO PEEL OFF. THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AS IS BECAUSE OF THE TIRE AND I HAD THEM PUT A NEW FIRESTONE TIRE ON. I THEN BROUGHT THE BAD TIRE TO FIRESTONE AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY REPLACE THE TIRE AND NOT GIVE A REFUND ON THE TIRE. I FEEL FIRESTONE SHOULD GIVE ME A REFUND ON THE TIRE BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS'NT WORN OUT NORMALY AND THE CAR NEEDED THAT TIRE TO PASS INSPECTION. I ALSO CALLED FIRESTONE AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS THE MANAGER AT THERE STORE TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD'NT GIVE ME A REFUND. *AK (TIRESIZE: 17570R14)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 17570R14 )
