I PURCHASED A NEW 2012 JEEP LIBERTY FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER OF 2012. THE VEHICLE HAS P235/60R18 FORTERA HL TIRES ON IT. THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE ON THIS TIRE IS 60K MILES. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THESE TIRES ARE PUT ON NEW VEHICLES THAT THEY ARE SUB-STANDARD. MY CAR NOW HAS 30,200 MILES AND THE TIRES ARE WORN SMOOTH WITH NORMAL DRIVING. GOODYEAR SAID THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE 4 TIRES FOR $623.00. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE REVIEWS, MY SITUATION WAS RATHER COMMON. THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION AND WHEN THE PUBLIC RELIES ON AN ADVERTISED MILEAGE OF 60K MILES, THIS IS A BLATANT MISREPRESENTATION OF THE PRODUCT. *JS
