Purchased 4 new firestone destination le3 p245/75/r16 tires. I immediately noticed my truck vibrating a lot. The higher rhe speed , the bigger vibration. I took it back twice. The service tech. Indicated that he balanced them, so I took them to another service station. Two front tires wrre determined to be egg-shaped and could not be balanced. They were also noticably a different color than the back two tires as well. I am taking them back to the original seller and having them replaced under the warranty.
We purchased a set of these tires at the end of June and have only about 15,000mi on them now. The embossed tire wear indicators show more than the 80% tread life left. About two weeks or so ago, I noticed a blister on the tire. Looking at it, there were a few tread blocks separating from the carcass. Yes, separation like what caused issues with firestone and Ford explorers a while ago! pictures attached. I tried reaching out directly to nokian and received no reply. I then tried to contact the seller (budget center) and amazon. Initially, amazon was helpful and the seller told me to go check at a local store. Now, amazon says there is nothing that they will do and I have to go through nokian on my own. Note that I was not asking for a refund, only help contacting nokian. We have purchased several sets of tires from amazon and will never again if this is how they handle warrantable defects. Shameful!.
