Consumer Description

BOTH RIGHT SIDE TIRES DEVELOPED 2-3 IN. "BLISTERS" IN THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL, APPARENTLY AFTER HITTING EITHER A CURB OR POTHOLE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY NEAREST LEXUS DEALER (ALBUQUERQUE), BUT LEXUS WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES EVEN AFTER I INFORMED THEM OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH AUDI TIRES. I EVENTUALLY REPLACED THE TIRES MYSELF AT A COST OF $400. *AK (TIRESIZE: 215145ZR17)
