Galaviz auto repair & tires748 n arizona ave, chandler, az 85225 according to them I got a deal, 4 brand new tires for my dodge ram 1500 for 400. Me being a female, not knowing much, didn't notice the brands were not even the same and size on two were not like the other two. They weren't brand new, used and supposedly a year warranty. The reason I went back was to check on the tire recall, owner and son said they don't do recalls or report and transactions with the federal safety agency. Have no records of tires sold at there shop. I was screwed over by an ex co worker selling tires at his own acknowledgement. They couldn't help me with any thing that has to do with recalls.

Driving my 2004 dodge ram 1500 truck; in the last six months I had two blowouts and two flat tires on tires that have less than 10,000 miles. The tires are manufactured by nitto. I contacted the corporate office and they explained that there is no recall on the tires and I should made certain there was proper tire pressure. (there was) I either repaired or replaced the tires. My concern is safety. Is there a recall on nitto tires?

Felt the rear end come up off the ground and a loud bang. Spare tire had come loose from under vehicle. Lucky no one was behind me or could have been bad. Rim is bent and unusable now. It is held up by a small gauge wire and will eventually fray and break loose.

While driving the spare tire which is suspended under the vehicle fell to the ground. The metal bracket that passes through the center of the spare tire to suspend it rusted where it connects to the suspension cable causing the tire to fall to the ground. Fortunately I was driving slowly through a shopping plaza and there was no vehicles behind me. If I had been driving at highway speeds it could have caused an accident for anyone behind me. Very unsafe design. I mention what occurred to my neighbor who has a similar dodge ram and he informed me that the same thing had occurred to his vehicle. He too was fortunate that the spare tire fell in the driveway of his home. In looking on the internet, numerous forums report the same safety issue. Please investigate and discuss the safety issue with dodge before anyone gets hurt. Thanks.

I had purchase 4 tires and only had traveled 5,000 miles . The company I bought them from did not tell me the warranty on the tires until one of them the belt separated I purchase them march 08 and in sept 09 is when it happened. I took it back to the company and they informed me that they only had a year warranty on the tires. They told me that I would have to purchase another one which this was a manufacture defect in the tire. And they told me that they would get with the supplier and see if they could get me credit on the tire. Still not hearing anything about the tire I had another one to separate on 12-19-09. I went and had all the tires and rims taking off of my truck and purchase new rims and tires from a different place and then I went back to the company where I had purchase the defective tires and showed them again that another separated he then wanted to get it and let the supplier see it and I told him not until I hear anything about the first one that he had sent back. He has had the 1st tire for almost 4 months and now he wants the rest I think not. I want a total refund of all my tires but he is talking about tread wear credit. They should not go by that since those tires are defective. Dotu865 ns all-sport performance x/p. Nankang 792 0507 h5.
