NHTSA Complaint #756394 — 2001 MAZDA PROTEGE

I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE WAS DRIVEN WHILE LOW. I CHECK THE AIR IN MY TIRES ONCE SOMETIMES TWICE A WEEK. THE MECHANIC THAT LOOKED AT MY TIRE SAID THAT IT ONLY HAS TO BE A LITTLE LOW TO START RUBBING ON THE RIM. AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY MILEAGE I DRIVE QUITE A BIT. PLUS BOTH MY DAD (RETIRED) AND MY HUSBAND WORK FOR UNIROYAL TIRES. MY HUSBAND IS A TIREBUILDER. I AM JUST GLAD THE TIRES DIDN'T BLOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM 36 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVERY HAD A TIRE RUINED IN 20000 MILES. I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE TIRES. SO DOES MY DAD AND HUSBAND.*AK (TIRESIZE: 192/55/R15)
