Description of the problem | My new 2013 pathfinder came with the tire toyo proxes a20. This option is not available on the drop-down selections. Excessive tire wear on toyo proxes a20 tires. . At 23,000 miles tires are in need of replacing.( i only use this vechile to take my son to school and around town, i am under 1,000 miles a month) i have expressed my concern with nissan abeloff dealership, nissan consumer affair and toyo the tire company. I had a case opened with nissan conumer which they told me that the dealership would have to measure the tire depth and then they could help me with replacement cost. (of course this was all verbal on the phone). Unfortunately the dealership had a different reading vs my readings. Luckily i kept my multi inspection paperworks as backup and told them that there gadget is broken beacause it kinda weird for theards to be like a roller coaster. My latest reading on the treads is 2/32 and 3/32 which a brand new gadget was used. After the dealership confirmed this corrected reading. They informed nissan and now they come back to me, they can not do anything even though previous case they said they will be glad to help out. This is considered a safety hazard and i do not thing a tire should be weared out so early when others last from any where 40,000 to 50,000 miles. These toyo proxes a20 are defected and i searched online on and have found similar stories for this tire on the nissan suv's and other suv brands. These tires need to be recalled as defected wear and tear before and accident happens and life's lost. |
