Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have over 17,000 miles my 2003 honda vtx 1300s. i have had to replace the front and rear tires several times due to what seemed to be normal wear patterns. he front tire wear is unacceptable. there is obviously more wear on the left side of the tire. this has caused less than ideal riding situations and handling due to half of the tire being worn down and the other half having plenty of tread remaining. i expressed my concerns to my dealer/repair facility while ordering my last two front tires. i was told, "honda says that the problem is with the roads and not the motorcycle". my dealer/repair facility refuses to accept any responsibility or offer any solutions to the obvious problem with my motorcycle.*ak
