This Problem Across All Years
Sentury Touring (Discount Tire) 205/55/R16. Both front tires have inner wear to the point of shredding in the same location on *both* front tires. Both tires went out at the same time and could have caused a serious accident. Discount tire stated it was an alignment issue. The alignment shop (30 minutes after new tires were installed after dual blowout) stated that my alignment was perfectly within spec and also stated there was no indication of tire rub on any portion of the vehicle.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED FROM DAY ONE, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE REAR TIRES FOR BRAKE ASSEMBLY. EACH TIME I'D VISIT THE SHOP I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I BELIEVE SOMEWHERE AROUND 12,000 MILES I NOTICED THE TIRES WERE GETTING BALD. THEY CHECK THE ALIGNMENTS SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. LATER I HAD ANOTHER ALIGNMENT DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SEEM TO PULL MORE TO THE LEFT. THEY SAID IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OUT OF ALIGNMENT BUT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. WHEN I QUESTIONED HIM ON THE TIRES WHICH BY THE WAY I HAD TO REPLACE ONE WHILE ON THE TRIP. THEIR REPLY WITH THE SAME THESE ARE CHEAP TIRES PUT ON BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD NOT LAST ANYMORE 12,000 MILES. AFTER GETTING NOWHERE I FINALLY WENT TO TIRE KINGDOM AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AT MY COST. I FELT THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND SEE IF THIS COULD'VE BEEN RESOLVED. NO LUCK. *TR
