Tire problem #1

Due to the negligence of pep boys service department, the wrong size tires were placed on my car. This has led to my warranty for my transmission being denied related to an unauthorized modification(that I was unaware of). This has caused me undue stress, headaches, out-of-pocket expenses, and chest pain. As of now,I have not received a response for replacement tires for my 2019 Kicks. Pep boys technician placed an incorrect-size tire on my car which resulted in a modification that resulted in my warranty not covering my transmission. I am requesting this issue be corrected. 225/50r17 should have been 205/55r17.

Tire problem #2

P 205 / 60 /16 1. Driving on the surface road in atlanta, and without warning the sidewall of the firestone ft 140 failed (see picture). 2. The 2020 Nissan Kicks only had 21,100 miles on the car at the time of the incident 3. There is no puncture in the tread and I have the tire in my possession and would be happy to may the tire available for inspection by an NHTSA representative. 4. I did not feel safe with the other 3 (inherently the same tire, as it was oem) tires I had them replaced as a precaution.
