1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2010

I purchased 4 uniroyal long touring p215/60r16 tires from wal-mart. At 5,000 miles I had the tires rotated at wal-mart. After rotating the tires, the next day there was a tremendous vibration while driving. Wal-mart says there are flat spots in the tire tread on all four tires and this was caused by alignment and suspension. Wal-mart manager said to have alignment and suspension checked and then they would replace warranteed tires. Alignment and suspension checked and found to be in order. Wal-mart manager refuses to change tire. Three tire shops have said the problem is a manufacture defect in tires, not alignment or suspension. I also learned wal-mart placed three different d. O. T. Number tires on my car. D. O. T. Numbers y9xbvnuu1509/ 2809 and (2) 2909.
