Description of the problem | I purchased my car in august of 2010 brand new in august of 2011 i had to replace all 4 tires the tires that were on were hankook so they put 4 new tires on in july 2012 my tires were shot and i went to get my car inspected and it wouldn't pass on this one hankook said the tires that were on it were 60,000 tires so they would pay 80 % and i had to pay 20% and i could pick whatever brand of tire i wanted i didn't know what to pick so went with yokohama and those were put on somewhere between 25 to 26,000 +miles well here i am august now of 2013 i knew my tires were shot so set it up for inspection and of course it would not pass i had to have 4 new tires again. These chevy paid for 2 and i had to pay for 2 they now have put continental my new car from aug. 2010 now has its 4th set of tires on my car was a little over 38,408 miles on it when the 4th set of tires was put on i keep trying to tell them there has to be a defect in the vehicle that this is not normal(and i don't see how it is safe) i do tire rotations and tire alignments and am now being told by the district specialist that at least now we have it recorded and these are 60,000 mile tires (which i said wow so was the first 2 sets of hankook. (these 2 tires cost me $260 and i do not think this is something that is normal to be dealt with every year. I have never even had an old vehicle that went through 4 tires every year |
