| Description of the problem | The michelin tires-285x60xr18 needed to be replaced at 16,000 miles. The wear bars were already showing. I took to jeep dealership in lansing, michigan and was accused of driving wrong, not rotating and balancing (i am meticulous about service-so yes, did), driving on too many dirt roads (live in the city, city driving only-so no) and offered no discount on new tires. Discount tire told me that jeep is notorious about putting on cheap tires to bring down cost of car. Seriously 16,000 miles of city driving! I bought the car new with 30ish miles on it... The tires should last more than 6 months. Something is wrong with these tires or the car! |
