| Description of the problem | From 9/8/2015 to 11/14/15 i have had three tires needing replacement due to their sensitivity of minimal road conditions and getting damaged. Each time i hit a small pot hole, small enough to where i thought it was a dip in the road as i came upon it. But once there i couldn't safely maneuver around it to avoid it. The style of these tires are 18" wheels which leaves no room for cushion. I have never had a problem with my sports cars, so i didn't think to ask about tire issues when i purchased this one. I cannot continue to purchase a new tire approximately every 3 weeks, so on 11/18/15 i have to pay another significant amount of money to purchase a full set of tires that will hopefully not blow out at any bump or twig in the road. The roads i travel are city roads and aren't even hazardous roads with ultimately dangerous driving conditions. I purchased this car in july 2015, and to have to go through all this in less than 6 months is ridiculous. My paperwork is all through discount tire in auburn hills, michigan. |
