| Description of the problem | I purchased 4 tires from m. A. Tire center, inc., 3156 boston rd., bronx, ny 10469 (718) 655-9863 in the past few months. My front driver tire was purchased in march 2015. After a few weeks my steering wheel started shaking every time i drove the car. I went to pep boys thinking maybe my tires needed to be balanced. The service technician at pep boys showed me what the problem was. The tire was so worn and the treads were gone already. He also showed me where the tire was getting ready to actually bust if i kept driving on it. I was in danger. I went back to the tire store and they tried to sell me another tire for $140. 00. I didn't want to buy another tire since that bad tire was only a month old and was obviously bad from the start. They knowingly sold me a bad tire and put my life at risk. They should have replaced the tire at no charge. Because i'm a woman i feel they took advantage of me by selling e a bad, dangerous tire. I also believe this tire shop is operating illegally and should be closed down. If they're selling bad tires, they shouldn't be in business putting people's lives at risk. |
