Description of the problem | When i purchased my car last year ;they told me that they put new tires on my car,but when it rained my car tires would slide in puddles of water;i was frantic. My kids were in the car with me and was screaming and howling because we almost had a accident. So i stopped driving the car until i purchased new tires. I bought tires from wal mart automotive [that was in december]but in feburary i expericenced the same problem except these tires splitted open and i purchased two more tires from walmart and the guy that changed my tire said it's not awannder if i didn't kill myself.... But he told me that firestone was recalling these tires and told me about it. So what can i do now i have the tires at homeo |
