TIRES
BOTH REAR TIRES, PIRELLI PZERO 275/45ZR18, WERE SEVERELY WORN AT 7430 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT MY EXPENSE OF APPROXIMATELY $950.00. I AM A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS DRIVER AND CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURES DAILY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT TIRES TO BE ON THE VERGE OF BLOWING OUT WITH JUST 7,400 MILES. I HAVE THE TIRES IN MY POSSESSION. *TR
