Consumer Description

MY TIRES APPEARED AS IF CATS HAD SCRATCHED THEM. THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES WERE PEELING OFF. I RETURNED THESE TIRES AND HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THESE WERE NOT THE TIRE IN QUESTION. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT GET ANY MONEY BACK. THE TIRES IN QUESTION WERE OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I, ALSO, JUST HAD A SET OF TWINS AND WANT ONLY THE SAFEST FOR MY CHILDREN. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED TO GET REINBURSEMENT? I DID THE RIGHT THING BY GETTING THOSE TIRES OFF OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VNCUIPX518 TIRESIZE: 255-70-16)
