| Description of the problem | The wheels on my tires will crack at the slightest stress from the road. It could be a bump, a tiny pot hole, even a stick, and these tires will become defective, either by cracking, becoming flat or the wheel becoming completely immoblized. I have been stranded on the road in the middle of the night for hours because of these defective tires. I've come into work un-showered with no sleep, because i was stranded for sometimes up to 12 hours before i would get help. Its happened at least once a month for the past 4 years. There is no way these tires passed even basic inspection. They are danger to anyone using them. |
