TOYO EXTENSA TIRES Complaints

These tires were purchased brand new and installed at Pep Boys on March 24th. By the 15th of this month—less than a month later—one of the tires had developed a bulge on its sidewall.bubbling on the tire sidewall . However, neither the manufacturer (Toyo) nor the retailer (Pep Boys) has been willing to take responsibility for the issue, refusing to process a return, issue a refund, or address the quality defect. I have clear photographic evidence demonstrating that this is undeniably a product quality issue!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA CR-V EQUIPPED WITH TOYO EXTENSA TIRES, SIZE: 215/65R15. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE EXPERIENCED A SIDEWALL CRACK AND SPLIT THAT CAUSED THE TIRE TO GO FLAT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FOCUS EQUIPPED WITH TOYO EXTENSA A/S TIRES, SIZE: P195/60/R15 (NA). WHILE INSTALLING A BRAND NEW TIRE AND INFLATING THE TIRES (38 TO 40 PSI), THE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SUSTAINED FACE, LEFT ARM, EYE, AND EAR INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD 3 TOYO TIRES BUBBLE AND SEPARATE IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS AND TOYO WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I FEEL THAT THEIR TIRES ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE TESTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH TOYO EXTENSA TIRES, TIRE SIZE 215/65/15.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT AN OBJECT PUNCTURED THE TIRE AND A PATCH WAS USED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THREE MONTHS LATER THE SAME TIRE WAS PUNCTURED AGAIN BY A SMALL ROCK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,800.
