Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRY ROT IS SHOWING IN BETWEEN THE TREAD OF ALL 4 TIRES. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW FROM SAM'S CLUB. TOURING T/A DOT (AP5M) (A721) (0212). THERE IS 8/32 OF THE TREAD REMAINING, MEASURED BY SAM'S. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED EVERY 4500 MILES. I ASKED ABOUT THE DRY ROT AND THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT I WASH THE CAR TOO MUCH. THE MANUFACTURER AND SAM'S WILL NOT WORK WITH ME TO REMOVE THE DANGER OF A BLOW OUT ON THESE TIRES. THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED AS UNSAFE.
I PURCHASED 4 UNIROYAL LONG TOURING P215/60R16 TIRES FROM WAL-MART. AT 5,000 MILES I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AT WAL-MART. AFTER ROTATING THE TIRES, THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. WAL-MART SAYS THERE ARE FLAT SPOTS IN THE TIRE TREAD ON ALL FOUR TIRES AND THIS WAS CAUSED BY ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION. WAL-MART MANAGER SAID TO HAVE ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION CHECKED AND THEN THEY WOULD REPLACE WARRANTED TIRES. ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE IN ORDER. WAL-MART MANAGER REFUSES TO CHANGE TIRE. THREE TIRE SHOPS HAVE SAID THE PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN TIRES, NOT ALIGNMENT OR SUSPENSION. I ALSO LEARNED WAL-MART PLACED THREE DIFFERENT D.O.T. NUMBER TIRES ON MY CAR. D.O.T. NUMBERS Y9XBVNUU1509/ 2809 AND (2) 2909. *TR
