 This is a follow up to a complaint that i made last year or early this year. my 2000 honda civic tires failed. 2 failed and were replaced under warranty, then the other 2 failed and i bought a different brand. then i registered this with you. all four tires where original, so they may have been manu at the same plant and at the same time. however, just now the first 2 tires replaced just failed for the same reason. please look up the previous complaint to get the date these tires were originally gotten. please respond and let me know that you have combined this complaint with the previous complaint. please note that i am very meticulous about air pressure and rotation. *jb
