2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER WITH NITTO AND HAVE HAD THE TIRES INSPECTED BY ONE OF THERE DISTRIBUTORS AT THEIR REQUEST. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIRE SEPARATION THAT IS OCCURRING APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE FROM THIS SAME MANUFACTURER TO FALL APART AND AT APPROX 18000 MILES WITH THIS SET. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN AS THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR DEFECT UNTIL THEY ARE ABOUT TO FAIL. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE BECOME AN EXPERT AT FEELING THE IRREGULARITIES WHILE DRIVING AND HAVE NOW STARTED INSPECTING THE TIRES IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MY LIFE IS THREATENED. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT I WAS HOPING TO GET THE TIRES, I SAVED TWO OF THEM, BACK TO NITTO FOR EXAMINATION. THEY INITIALLY SEEMED VERY INTERESTED AFTER HEARING THE NEWS FROM THEIR INSPECTOR, BUT MY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THEM HAVE BEEN IGNORED AND THEY HAVE FAILED TO FOLLOW UP AS PROMISED. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE ONE TIRE ALREADY DUE TO MY LOCATION AWAY FROM HOME AT TIME OF INCIDENT AND WHILE TRAVELING HOME I FELT THE OTHER TIRE START TO GO AND YES THIS WAS ALSO INSPECTED. I WILL NOW REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES YET AGAIN (WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER THIS TIME) FOR SIMPLE FEAR OF FAILURE AND INJURY OR DEATH. I FELT AT MINIMUM YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION IN CASE OTHERS HAVE BEEN INJURED DUE TO THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS. IT BOTHERS ME GREATLY THAT THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO HAVE THESE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. I WASN'T REQUESTING ANY WARRANTY OR COMPENSATION, SO IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY FOR ME.
