I purchased this vehicle from CarMax in South Sacramento. Before I purchased this vehicle, I asked that the tires be replaced with new as they are original to the vehicle, and there are indications of their being aged, cracked tread, and missing tread on these tires. These tires appear to be the original tires that were purchased when this vehicle was new. The lf tire is reading at 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, the lr tire is reading is 8/32 to the center, and outer tread, the right rear tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread, and the rf tire is reading 8/32 to the center/and outer tread. The salesman advised that these tires would be replaced with new if I brought them into their service dept after purchasing the vehicle. I was able to bring it back within 3 days, and the CarMax Dealer General Manager, and Service Department manager feels that these tires are safe to drive. I did discuss that these are aged, cracked, and missing tread, and that there is a slight vibration when driving under speed of 75 - 80 mph, and that these tires are unsafe due to their conditions of being aged, cracked, and missing tread, and they refused to replace with new. These tires in my opinion are very unsafe to drive, and this is why I am reporting the conditions to you. They keep mentioning the fact that they are compliant to your standards, and are not in agreeance with their initial advice to bring the vehicle in to have them replaced with new because of their age/and their unsafe condition.
I BOUGHT ALL 4 OF MY TIRES AT THE TIRE SHOP AND I HAVEN'T DROVE MORE THEN 5,000 MILES ON THEM AND IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A TREAD SEPARATION SO I WENT TO TAKE THEM IN TO CHANGE MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAD WARRANTY ON THEM . WHEN I TOLD ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND I WOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES AND THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT . I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS AT WORK AND GRABBING MY DRINK FROM THE TRUCK . I HAVE A DAUGHTER THAT'S 1 AND SAFETY IS MY CONCERN AND WANT MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE . AND FOR ME TO BUY NEW TIRES WOULD PUT A DENT ON MY POCKET BECAUSE I GOT OTHER BILLS AND PRIORITIES TO PAY . SO MY CONCERN IS THAT SHOULD MY WARRANTY COVER MY TIRES AND IS THERE A MANUFACTORY PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES ? I DID TAKE THEM TO 3 OTHER TIRE SHOPS AND 2 OUT OF 3 SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THERE TREAD SEPARATING AND THE OTHER COULDN'T REALLY TELL HOW THAT WOULD HAPPEN .
I HAVE RECENTLY REACHED 25000 ON MY TRUCK. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 2 FLATS AND 6 LEAKS. MY TIRE NOW HAS A TEAR ON THE TREAD. I HAVE BEEN ON CITY AND HIGHWAY ROADS PRIMARILY. TWICE I GOT LOW TIRE ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THESE TIRES AND I HAUL FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CHILDREN FREQUENTLY. THE POTENTIAL FOR A BLOWOUT OR COMPLETE FLAT HAS BEEN INCREASING. I DO NOT LIKE THE RISK AND POTENTIAL FACTOR THAT I AM RELYING ON FOR THESE TIRE.
HAVE HAD TWO TIRES FAIL BY TEARS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TREAD. THESE FAILURES HAVE BEEN SUDDEN AND INSTANTLY FLAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. ALL OTHER TIERS ARE SHOWING CHECKING/CRACKING IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE FAILED ONES. BF GOODRICH HAS BEEN NO HELP SO FAR. WILL SOME ONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?
