| TIRES - SIDEWALL | |||

| I own a 2007 harley davidson fxst softail motorcycle. the motorcycle was in my possession for ten months when i noticed a dry rot on the side wall of the front tire. the rear tire is in great condition, with no dry rot at all. i keep my motorcycle serviced and maintained continuously. the tire pressure was never low, or damaged in any way shape or form. i have been an avid rider and owner of many motorcycles. i have never seen this issue with a motorcycle tire on a new motorcycle before. i called the dealership, new river harley davidson and they in not so many words advised me oh well, your problem, not ours we don't cover tires!. i have heard of at least three or more similar complaints from the area where i live. the owners complained of the exact same front tire problem. i am not sure if they have taken it to this level. i am worried that the harley davidson cooperation is not taking responsibility for an issue of such importance that could lead to someone being killed or seriously injured. i hope that you can help me with this. if there is another level i could go to, please let me know. i don't believe i should be responsible for a defective tire installed on my brand new motorcycle. thank you, jack cohen *tr | |||
