THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO A COMPLAINT THAT I MADE IN 2003 OR EARLY IN 2004. MY 2000 HONDA CIVIC ORIGINAL TIRES FAILED. 2 FAILED AND WERE REPLACED WITH THE SAME BRAND UNDER WARRANTY, THEN THE OTHER 2 FAILED AND I BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND. THEN I REGISTERED THIS WITH YOU. JUST NOW THE FIRST 2 TIRES REPLACED FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON. PLEASE RESPOND AND LET ME KNOW THAT YOU HAVE COMBINED THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM VERY METICULOUS ABOUT AIR PRESSURE AND ROTATION. *JB
