| Description of the problem | Dt: the contact states that the 2005 nissan quest has tires that feathered on the inside edge of all four tires. The tires have been balanced and rotated every 5,000 miles. The tires stayed at the right pressure, which was 35 pounds. The tires started showing signs of feathering around 10,000 miles. The tires were the original ones that came on the van. The tires needed to be replaced at 16,000 miles. The contact has been in contact with goodyear and nissan. The van has been in alignment the whole time that the contact owned the van. She stated that goodyear said that one of the tires was out of alignment by . 011. Goodyear was the only one who found any problem with the alignment. The representative from nissan has checked the alignment and the tires were within the specs. The damage was apparent at 10,000 miles. At this point, goodyear has said that they would pay for 50% of the cost on another set of eagle ls tires. The contact was looking for an alternative brand of tires. The contact has every single piece of documentation of where she has had the tires rotated and balanced. Nissan and goodyear were telling her that the paperwork was no good for them because it did not come from the dealership.*ak |
