1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2026

I filed a report earlier and uploaded photos. My right front had a bump in the middle of the tire which caused that portion of tire (1/4) to go bald and caused the car bump as you drove it. The company, [xxx] asked for my bank routing number and account number and receipts which I provided. Afterwards, the female employee sent a form which I am uploading to return to their finance dept. I do not like having to give out personal info such as the form requires. When asked if a check can be sent she informed me that they could not send a check. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/31/1969

This is the third dextero dtr1 that has exhibited defects described in their 2016 recall (large cracks at the sidewall/tread area). This is a fatally serious defect: I would not drive at highway speed with these tires. My first complaint resulted in my tire being replaced. My second and third complaints are thus: there are no tires in stock to replace my defective tires and I was informed that a bank and routing number would be needed to pay me $109 for two defective tires. I complied with their request and was asked for additional personal information. I do not want to provide more personal information and have asked for a check instead.

3 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/31/1969

My yellow 2016 Honda Fit (18560r15) right front tire recently developed a bump in the middle and outside tread wear. My other car, 1994 Honda ccivic, had its front tire worn as well. This dextero tire is manufactured in fujian, china and is distributed by giti and we bought them from walmart. I had a similar defect on my civic back in 11/2025. I found that the dextero tire was recalled in 2016 for cracks at tread/sidewall area exactly as my tires exhibited. Giti replaced my tire in 11/2025 but refuse to replace my two new defects. I believe these tires are not safe to drive on and would like two replacements.
