Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WE PURCHASED 4 LT235/75R 15 LRC BIG FOOT A/T DUAL TIRES AT $172.79 A PIECE 3/14/06, SPENDING $787.31. SUNDAY 6/24/07 ON HIGHWAY 40 AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 75MPH, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT, ALMOST FLIPPING US OVER, WHICH WOULD HAVE CREATED ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO OURSELVES AND OUR VEHICLE. LUCKILY, I STABILIZED THE VEHICLE AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. TUESDAY 6/26/07 WE WENT TO BIG O TIRES AT 2010 E. LAKE MEAD BLVD, NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV TO GET A REPLACEMENT. MANNY WAS APPARENTLY UNABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT TIRE, DESPITE CHECKING THROUGHOUT LAS VEGAS AND CALIFORNIA. HOW CAN BIG O SELL TIRES WITH A SUPPOSED GUARANTEE WHEN THEY CAN'T LOCATE ANY SUCH TIRES WITH WHICH TO REPLACE THEM? THIS MORNING MANNY PUT ON ANOTHER BRAND TIRE, SUPPOSEDLY OF EQUIVALENT VALUE AND DURABILITY. IT IS A P, NOT LT, TIRE?HOW IS THAT EQUIVALENT? IT HAS A SPEED RATING OF S VS. THE REST OF THE TIRES HAVE A SPEED RATING OF Q. AND ON THE BIG O TIRE WEB SITE IT STATES, ?NEVER MIX TIRES WITH DIFFERENT SPEED RATINGS, AS THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS HANDLING PROBLEMS.? SO MUCH FOR EQUIVALENCE! FURTHERMORE, IT IS A SPECTOR ADVANTA TIRE, AND I CAN FIND ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AS TO WHO MAKES THIS TIRE. WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY AM I GOING TO HAVE ON THE TIRE? I HAVE ANOTHER TOYOTA TRUCK, WHICH ALSO HAD A TIRE BLOW-OUT, THE DAY AFTER THE ONE MENTIONED ABOVE. THESE TIRES CAME WITH OUR ABOVE TRUCK AND WERE NOT BIG O TIRES. THE STORE MANAGER SUGGESTED THE TIRES WERE STARTING TO DRY ROT, SO THEREFORE I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW TIRES FROM HIM FOR THAT TRUCK. HE SOLD ME PRIME WELL TIRES, AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN A PURCHASE OF BIG O TIRES. HE?S CHECKED OFF THAT IT?S A THREE-YEAR ROAD-HAZARD 40,000 MILE WARRANTY. IN THE SMALL PRINT IT SAYS, ?EVERY NEW TIRE SOLD BY BIG O TIRES?CARRIES A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AGAINST MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP?? IS THAT THE MILEAGE WARRANTY? BY THE MANUFACTURER, GITI, IN CHINA? *TR
