Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway here in san diego, ca. On dec. 31, 2018 at 11:15 am, at 65 mph i noticed a car in front of me swerve and before a could dodge the object i hit it with my left front tire. A delfinity, dakota, a/t 2, lt265/75 r16. With only 28,880 miles on them. Was not long before my steering became wobbly. After managing to get over to the right side of the shoulder of the road in heavy traffic i observed my tire was flat and destroyed beyond repair. After replacing it with the spare in the rain. I returned home to check for any damage to my truck, but found none. After a call the the pepboys store where i purchased them on apr. 30, 2013, as well as the road hazard service plan, i learned they do not carry these tires any more. I was offered a different brand tire as a replacement. Can you imagine driving your pride and joy with three tires of one brand and one of a different brand. Unacceptable!! As of now reading the other many complaints about these tires i can only accept them replacing all the tires under warranty. |
