1 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2025

Walmart auto center installed the incorrect tire size 255/70r17 on my factory setup with factory wheels. Westlake su318 all season 255/70r17 112t SUV/crossover tires were installed in place of the correct size 245/70r17 tires. Walmart is refusing to fix my truck and I had the brake lines blow out 3 weeks after installing the tires. I am a current threat to the public and myself driving with these incorrect tires. Walmart will not replace the tires. Walmart is attempting to coverup this by not providing the information to carfax. I have submitted a carfax update case#19048698.

Failure Date: 10/04/2016

New set of 4 federal couragia mud tires (35x12. 50x20) purchased June 2015- at 60 mph truck wobbles/shakes uncontrollably. Finally found walmart auto/tire center (not purchased from walmart). Tech stated that the steel belt had shifted. Went back to original tire dealer , no replace no refund. Purchased 2 more federal couragia tires from a different tire dealer April 2016 thinking maybe it was a faulty set from other dealer, but steel belt shifting in 1 of the 2 newest tires as of 10/04/16. Same fierce wobble/shake at 60-mph.

4 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2015

Tire tread separation on front drive side tire. I was able to catch in time and had tire replaced but would like company to reimburse me because this brand of tire was recalled last year for the same reason but did not include the p265/70r17. The brand of tire is capital precision trac ii, the tire shop that replace the tire told me I was lucky that it did not blow on the highway.
