HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO SEARS WHERE HE PURCHASED THE TIRES AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. HE INFORMED THEM THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN THIS ON TIRES. SEARS TOLD HIM THAT THIS WAS THE TURNING POINT ON THE TIRES. SEARS DID OFFER TO GIVE HIM A NEW SET OF FOUR TIRES THAT WERE LARGE ENOUGH TO PUT ON AN SUV. HE DECLINED THE OFFER AND LEFT. SEARS INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WOULD ORDER HIM SOME NEW TIRES.

EXPENSIVE RUN FLAT GOODYEAR TIRE ON CORVETTE FAILED WHEN A NAIL PIERCED IT. TOLD IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. HAD TO REPLACE WITH TWO NEW TIRES , GOODYEAR EAGLE, EACH OVER $300. WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO WARRANTY ON THE NEW TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE RUN FLATS , AND THAT I COULD NOT SUBSTITUTE ANOTHER TYPE OF TIRE BECAUSE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. HOW SAFE ARE THESE TIRES IF THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO GIVE WARRANTY. NOW I AM TOLD THAT I COULD NOT HAVE JUST ANY GARAGE CHANGE THE TIRES IF I RECEIVE ANOTHER FLAT BECAUSE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT HAS TO BE USED TO PROTECT THE AIR PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.*AK
