Description of the problem | I have a 2007 sentra 2. 0s, with brand new goodyear assurance tripletred tires, that i bought new from nissan in brooklyn park, mn. Its cold and icy here in the winters! I started noticing a lot of swaying and loudness in the rear on bumpy roads and ice/snow. After roughly 5000 miles of driving on new tires all around, my rear tires decreased significantly to 6/32s, brand new is 11/32s, and when i spoke to the dealership about this issue, they had no comment. When i spoke to discount tires about the 80k warranty on the goodyear tires, they said they would replace them but were very confused about how they got bald so quick at only 5k miles. I cannot drive this in the winter but its suppose to save me gas, but it doesn't. My little acura has better gas mileage. Obviously when i took it into the dealership, they had no clue what the issue was and even when i said, "i have read a lot on rear tire alignment issues with my nissan and i want answers from you", they still look at me like they have no idea what i am talking about. Until i showed them what i printed off the internet, they told me they are not aware of the situations around the globe and if i wanted to fix my sentra it's not covered under warranty. |
