| TIRES - SIDEWALL | |||
| 04/11/2006 | 1 | ||
| Purchased 4 new super ride tires (p185/75r14 / pljb9kr605) from just tires @ 3136 sepulveda boulevard torrance, california on 4/11/06. one undulation appeared on the sidewall of each tire 1-2 months after installation. over time an second undulation appeared on the rear passenger-side tire. additionally, since installation, the sidewall of each tire has had a rusty appearance. while the salesperson told me that this is normal, i later learned that it may be a sign of aging rubber and corroding steel cords. due to safety concerns, i would like all four tires replaced. although i have expressed my concerns to store management on three occasions between 05/2006 and 05/20/2007, the issue remains unresolved. your attention to this matter is appreciated. *tr | |||
