I went to walmart# 01698 in hooksett,n. H.,and was told my tire had dry rotted,the outside sidewall looked fine, the inside sidewall however looked like it was about to split in two,the manager said there was no evidence of an impact and the tire was pro-rated. The manager also informed me the other tires,all bought on 6/20/12,showed evidence of dry rot,but since they had not yet failed,there was nothing they could do. |
