Consumer Description

I HAD MY 6TH FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR IN 4 MONTHS. THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TIRE EVERY TIME. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED. SAME SIDE OF THE CAR EVERY TIME. FLATS HAPPENING A DAY APART FROM EACH OTHER - AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I WAS STRANDED AT NIGHT IN A LESS THAN DESIREABLE LOCATION ON THE LAST FLAT TIRE I HAD (4-12-01). I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS HOW I WAS DRIVING (6 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS - I FIND THAT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE - SAME SPOT ON THE CAR) I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I FEEL IT IS A TREAT TO MY LIFE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: 2JN2 2400 TIRESIZE: 215/45ZR17)
