Tire problem #1

Bought a set of tires from ebay / simpletire. They were listed as new without any disclaimer. Ordered them Jan. 11th 2018, and received them Jan. 16th, 2018 via fedex. Checked the dot date code and saw that all four tires are over six years old. Attempted to contact simple tire through ebay messaging and they have not replied. Here is the tire information you are requesting: hankook I*cept evo w310 235/55r17 103v xl this is a matched set of four. The four dot are as follows: dot 5m3f eu h 3511, dot 5m3f eu h 3811, dot 5m3f eu h 3811, dot 5m3f eu h 3911 after reading all your helpful information on you website I felt they sold me expired tires. Have no choice but to use them as the tires on my wife's car are in poor condition, and we just don't have the extra money to buy more. Another concern of mine is how many unsuspecting consumers are driving around on expired tires they in good faith bought from simpletire @ ebay?.

Tire problem #2

All four tires were replaced, due to failure - firestone p225/60r16m&s 6-121616-4.

Tire problem #3

A new vehicle began vibrating, especially in colder weather. The customer suspected that the firestone offinity tires to be the cause of the vibration problem. It was later confirmed by the news of defective firestone SUV tires and the recalls made. However, the customer discovered that these tires were not included in the recall. The customer feels all firestone tires should be investigated. Tire size p225/60r16 and dot # w2x01p6258.

Tire problem #4

Goodyear 16" snow tires causing severe handling problems.
