Description of the problem | Futura 875 tires made by bridgestone firestone with tread separation on all 4 tires. These tires seem never to have existed. They are not futura 775 tires they are futura 875 tires. These tires were purchased july 2001 at a time when dangerous tires were in the news for roll over accident's killing people. Yet pepboys never notified us they were defective. Now the tread separation on all 4 tires is very obvious and the tires must be replaced. Clearly there are still defective dangerous tires on the road waiting to harm a trusting public. Why? |
