TIRES
THE TIRES ON THE CAR HAVE FAILED. I HAVE DONE THE ALL OF THE SCHEDULED ROTATIONS AND ALINGMENTS. THE TIRES "GOODYEAR EAGLE LS (225/60R16) ON MY 2001 BUICK REGAL ARE PUTTING MY LIFE AT RISK WHEN I DRIVE EVERYDAY FOR WORK. I CONTACTED BUICK AND THEY STILL ARE MAKING A DETERMINATION TO REPLACE THESE FAILED TIRES, AT 23,900 MILES. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD OF TESTED THESE TIRES BEFORE THEY HAD MADE THE DECISION TO PUT THEM ON A QUITE PRICY CAR. GOODYEAR I BELIEVE IS AT FAULT FOR PRODUCING SUCH A TIRE THAT IS A COMPLETE FAILURE. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.*AK
