Firestone affinity tires carry a warranty of 80,000 miles. After only 37,000 miles the tires do not pass state inspection! when contacting firestone they informed us that they had sent a memo to their dealers stating that affinity tires as original equipment on vehicles would as of April 2000, be warranteed for only 50,000 miles. Affinity tires purchased through their retail stores would continue to be warranteed to 80,000! we as owners were never notified of this change. We have 2 Altimas for which I am filling 2 reports! tires have been rotated & cared for as the manufacturere recommended! ( dot number: tire size: p195/65r15 ).
While driving on highway at about 70 mph the rear tires made a very loud noise and they fell apart.
