GALAVIZ AUTO REPAIR & TIRES748 N ARIZONA AVE, CHANDLER, AZ 85225 ACCORDING TO THEM I GOT A DEAL, 4 BRAND NEW TIRES FOR MY DODGE RAM 1500 FOR 400.

THE REASON I WENT BACK WAS TO CHECK ON THE TIRE RECALL, OWNER AND SON SAID THEY DON'T DO RECALLS OR REPORT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH NHTSA. HAVE NO RECORDS OF TIRES SOLD AT THERE SHOP. I WAS SCREWED OVER BY AN EX CO WORKER SELLING TIRES AT HIS OWN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. THEY COULDN'T HELP ME WITH ANY THING THAT HAS TO DO WITH RECALLS.

I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE TIRES AND I SHOULD MADE CERTAIN THERE WAS PROPER TIRE PRESSURE. (THERE WAS) I EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED THE TIRES. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. IS THERE A RECALL ON NITTO TIRES? *TR
