| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2008 altima from bill ray nissan (sandford fl) in oct 07. After only 25,000 miles the tires (continental conti pro 215/60r-16 94t) began to make a loud noise. Luckily i purchased a tire warranty from discount tire company shortly after i bought the car. Of course there was nothing that nissan could do about the tires. This was due to the fact that you have to go through the tire company which will only warranty the tires for manufacture |
