Please contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, www.NHTSA.dot.gov sent: Sunday, June 17, 2007 10:54 pm tires manufactured by vogue tire /rubber co, mt prospect, Illinois,60056 (800) 323 - 1466/ex. 405. Four vogue/Goodyear tires with 9/32nds tread wear/manufactured sometimes after 1998 problem exists with tread wear/dry rot, tire tread splitting. Jim hordan regional vice president & ken goyak, executive vice president advised vogue tires only had a five year life expectancy, and after five years tires manufactured by vogue have no product defect warranty. I disagree with vogue's claim they were obligated to honor a full replacement warranty obligation at any time if a manufacturing flaw discovered in a tire production exposed the consumer population to loss of life or injury. Since vogue has refused to honor their warranty obligation I will be replacing the vogue tires I own with another brand tire, nd I would like to arrange for the delivery of the tires I now own to a nhstb local office in the boynton beach area so they could be examined, and have a tread run out test be performed to confirm the opinion of two Goodyear tire dealerships that the vogue tires I want to deliver were due to manufacturing problem. Further, if as the vogue tire executives referenced in this E-mail have stated, the E tire should not have remained in service after a five year term, must not this condition be broadcast for all tires that bear the same serial number be so advised of the possibility of tires like mine having a possible manufacturing problem? wait to hear from you as to the appropriate course of action I must follow in havng your Agency investigate my complained. Thereafter, take appropriate action which would appear to be a tire recall program as your Agency deems appropriate.
