Description of the problem | On april l9, 2008 with 2788 miles on my new car the front tire went soft and when taken to dunn tire they told me the tire was defective. I was naturally upset with so few miles but put a new one on which cost me $l61. A few weeks ago, my car was pulling to the right and the mechanic at monro muffler told me i had a "bad tire" and would have to replace both front tires ($408) i could not afford it and called goodyear who told me they would check it out and perhaps replace the tires. After two weeks i called again as nothing was done and i feel i am driving on unsafe tires as now it pulls to the left. My contention is that defective goodyear tires were on my car when purchased. They are eaglers-a sport tires. I do not know if goodyear will offer to replace them or not but feel there is a safety issue involved here and i should not be responsible for replacing 3 tires on a car that at the time of the last tirre check had l5,701 miles on it. I know goodyear recalled some of their tires but not sure if the ones on my car are included. Think not. |
