| Description of the problem | 3 uniroyal 215 60r 16 94t dot# y9x8vnuu 4110 have developed a small flat spot on inside of tires approximately 2 inches from outside of tire towards middle of tire. Looks to me like the beginning of separation. These tires have a 80000 mile warranty. Tires now have about 25000 to25500miles on them this date. Tires have been rotated at every 5000 miles. Air pressure has been kept a consistent 40lbs. One tire on vehicle is in fine shape but with a different dot number which isy9x8 un11 4910. Called wal-mart and they said they need to see tires. They also said they don't carry that tire anymore1. I'm very curious why? Will take car down to them this week and see what they have to say. |
