| Description of the problem | I purchased a wrangler jeep sport in 2013 and have had two flats. It came with wrangler goodyear 255 75 17 in tires. The first flat i experienced was six months after i purchased the jeep and it was the sidewall and could not be fixed. Now six months later another tire has went flat and it is also the sidewall. This jeep has less than 28,000 miles on this tire and only 15,000 on the first tire. These tires cost 290. 00 a piece, i mean really. Who can afford to continue purchasing tires at this cost every six months when the tire is rated at 50,000 miles. Now everyone i called say its not under warranty or no recall but something is wrong with these tires for the sidewalls to keep having flats. And if i'm not mistaken this is an off road vehicle isn't it, not that i've even taken it off road. If this is a problem with off road tires how about coming up with a better sidewall for goodyear tires, just saying. |
