1986 RENAULT ALLIANCE Complaints

TIRE FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT 55MP. I PURCHASED THE TIRES ON 9/07/99 WITH 120,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 127,800 MILES. I RETURNED THE TIRE TO SEARS AUTOMOTIVE IN SPRINGFIELD, OHIO ON 12-29-00. THE MANGAGER OF THE STORE, MR. DAVID SEXTON STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A "ROAD HAZARD." I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT A DEFECT. HE SAID A DEFECT WOULD SHOW DURING THE FIRST THOUSAND MILES OF DRIVING. I DISAGREED. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT DEFECTIVE. WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS SURROUNDING FIRESTONE I AM LEARY. COUPLED TO THIS SEARS PAST REPUTATION WITH THIER AUTOMOTIVE DIVISION MAKES ME EVEN MORE LEARY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND HAVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH SEARS CONSUMER SERVICE DIVISION. I DID HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED ON 12-29-00 AT A DIFFERENT TIRE STORE. I DID SAVE THE TIRE FOR INSPECTION IF NEED. I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT IT IS A DEFECT BUT WANT TO RULE OUT THAT POSSIBILTIY. HAVE THEIR BEEN ANY OTHER REPORTS ON THIS SAME TIRE OR SEARS. *AK (TIRESIZE: P15580R13)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P15580R13 )
