Description of the problem | Was washing my car and notice that all 4 tires have cracks all the way around the tire. I have a 2007 nissan sentra with only 12,000 miles, i bought the car new in dec. 2006. I went to nissan dealer, they said it is just dry rot, but it nothing they can do eventually i'll need new tires. Went to firestone/bridgestone and they seem unconcern, just that it is the environment in which we live with the cold then heat which dry the tires out. My concern is i only had these tires just a little over 2 years and not 4 or 5 the life time of these tires, they should no be cracking like this. Please look into this matter, i feel that have been sold a car with bad tires. |
