| Description of the problem | After reading where multiple jeep grand cherokee srt8 owners were experiencing front tire failure with factory tires, i had my tires checked during an alignment. Both of my front tires are experiencing a tread separation failure. I bought this vehicle with brand new tires on it, 0 miles from a local dealer. I contacted goodyear corporate, who sent me to a goodyear dealer locally, who inspected my tires, informed me they were defective, and offered me a pro-rated replace of 50% off. I feel that if a tire (or any product) has a manufacturing defect, then it should be replaced as such and not pro-rated. The tire was obviously defective from day one, and is only showing such after some use. Now i have to pay for replacement of tires that are not completely used nor worn to treadwear markers for fear of complete tire failure. |
