I PURCHASED A TIRE FROM A DEALER IN THE COUNTRYSIDE... NOW IT IS LEAKING AIR EVERY FIVE DAYS OR SO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL TIRE DEALERS AND THEY CANNOT FIND A PUNCTURE LEAK. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE AIR VALVE, BUT STILL THE TIRE LEAKS AIR. IT HAS BEEN ONLY ONE YEAR AND LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THIS NEW TIRE. COULD YOU SUGGEST HOW I CAN PROCEED TO COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER OR THE LOCAL DEALER? *AK( DOT NUMBER: )
