| I have had two separate incidents involving kelly-springfield aqua tread tires. i have had two of the tires to separate the side walls at two different times. i purchased two tires on april 12, 1996 and two more on february 1, 1997. on 10/15/98 because the sidewalls separated, i had to replace two tires. on june 6, 2001 while traveling out-of-state, the sidewall separated on one of the tires. because i could not find a dealer in that area and it would take 3 days to order, i had to replace all four of my tires. two of the tires had 24,152 miles and the other two had 44,872. i have tried going through my local dealer, the place i bought the orginal tires from, but to no avail. i would like to file a complaint against kelly springfield for the defective tires and seek recall information. the dot # is pjm0f8kr378gp.*ak (dot number: pjm0f8kr37 tiresize: 205-70r-15) | |||
