| 1997 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | A SIDEWALL BUBBLE OF APPROXIMATELY 1.5 INCHES HAS FORMED ON EACH OF TWO RIGHT SIDE TIRES, NITTO NT 555 ZRS. ONE TIRE IS JUST OVER 1.5 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER IS OLDER WITH MORE WEAR. THE TIRES ARE WORKING FINE CURRENTLY, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT BE HAZARDOUS. SEARCHING THE NITTO SITE, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND AN MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, SO APPEAR TO HAVE NO RECOURSE TO GET THE TIRE REPLACED. (BOTH TIRES WERE ON THE CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT USED SO THERE IS NO RECEIPT). THANK YOU, JOHN GREENSAGE. *NM |
