Description of the problem | Nearly bald tires after 24,000 miles and two years. Neither the dealership or the tire manufacturer will take responsibility of any kind. Got stuck in very low levels of snow, slide in wet conditions, etc. Kumho tires told me that these tires are made out of a compound that are not meant to last more than 20,000 miles. I feel dodge is deliberately cheating their customers by putting such tires on a vehicle they are selling or leasing. |
