| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Tires plus on route 192 in melbourne florida sold my 21 year old daughter a brand new set of bridgestone tires high performance. they told her her car (a 1999 honda accord two door) could only use high performance tires and not the less expensive brand. this was in april or 4 months ago. the tires are now bald and strings are flying off them. when she took the car back to tires plus they saoid that there was no guarantee on those tires. they said they had no mileage warranty. the salesman told her that they gave her a break on her alignement. she said she never asked for a break and had no idea they gave her one and what does that have to do with the defected ( all four) tires. they told her the air pressure was 31 pounds and should be 35 lbs. she told them she pumps them daily and they don't hold the air. they told her thats' tough and they would sell her 4 new tires for just over their cost. now my 21 year old daughter is driving on bald fraying tires. she works two jobs and is at the night job now. i am afraid that something will happen and don't know what to do . neither i ( her mother) nor she can pay for new tires at the moment. if i could i would and maybe next month i will but i don't want her to drive with those tires endanger her or others. she must work but for very expensive tires to be totally shot after 4 months is unacceptable. what should we do. she had had the tires rotated and the car serviced by the honda dealership. *ak |
