| First purchased four pepboy tires (se p205/65r15) on 05-17-2002, with a 80,000 mile warranty. on 03-29-2004, with only 34,000 miles on the tires, the top layer of rubber lifted from the tire and peeled off, almost creating an accident. 6,000 miles later, the other tires began to bubble like the first and had to be replaced with new tires. today, 02-27-2006 with replaced tires 30,000 miles on them, the first tire is starting to bubble and separate. i believe these tires are intentionally made to only withstand about thirty-thousand miles of wear and they begin to separate, which can create a fatal accident. these tires pepboys futura plus tour se, with the 80,000 mile warranty need to be recalled and pepboys be fined for false advertising and creating a dangerous tire. this is the second set of four tires that have lifted with only thirty-thousand miles on them with an 80,000 mile warranty.....*nm | |||

| Vehicle experienced erratic steering, wander, and pulling to the right, dealer rotated tires and checked alignment that did not solve the problem, dealer later realized the tires (goodyear conquest) were in poor shape and replaced them, the new tires corrected the steering, wandering, and pulling problem. *slc | |||

| Automobile tires and valves that were about three years old. we had two tire valve stems fail within one week. i noted rubber cracking/failure at the base of the valve stems on both that failed. i immediately replaced all the valve stems on all four wheels. i was not able to determine who made the valve stems, possibly make in china? my dealer couldn't tell me what he was using as valve stems three years ago. consumer reports had recently issued a warning about defective chinese tire valve stems. . might be a good idea to put something out on your web site. thanks! *tr | |||
