My vehicle wears the insides of front and back tires. Have done wheel alignments, toe-ins and other remedies. The problem with this is that your tires wear down prematurely and the unsuspecting driver drives and the tires wear down to the threads and explodes. This is because they did not expect their tires to last half or less of the thread life due to this unusual wear, and no one can figure out why this is happening. Also, because of the area that it wears the average person would not even notice it. Vehicles going highway speeds (55-70 mph) could have blowouts and kill themselves and others on the road.
Tire is out of round. Brand is radar 245/40/18. Asked sears and radar for help regarding my safety and have been ignored more then once. As I see it they are in collusion to protect themselves from any legal implications. Please not the tire in question is a verenti R6 sold by sears which is not on your drop down

2007 Mercedes Benz E350. Consumer writes in regards to defective tires on vehicle. The consumer stated the front tires were replaced on December 1, 2011. He found an air bubble on one of the tires on April 16, 2013. The consumer stated the repair shop filed a claim with the manufacturer, because the tire was still under warranty. However, they did so without specifying the true reason for the claim, which was an air bubble. The claim was not for wear and tear, as indicated on the invoice.
