Tires Plus Firestone Tires Firestone 60,000 mile warranty last 30,000 miles. They want me to pay prorate. Sarasota, Florida

You were so concerned with my education and my weight that you completely missed the point. I will clear that up for you first so you can stop worrying. Actually, if you must know, I weigh 127. Lbs and have a masters degree and licensure with the Florida board of health. The point: If the product, any product, lasts half of it's average life, that's a rip off. If you bought a flat screen TV which comes with a 1 year warranty and it lasted 1 year and one day. You call the company and they said too bad, you would be upset. I did not expect the tires to last for the full life based on basic science but half. I would have bought chep 30,000 tires and have been happy with 15,000. There is a reasonable expectations when buying products, you have them also but you probably do not look at yourself as you are too busy being verbally abusive. Nevertheless, firestone compensated me heavily for the next set of tires and, 8 months later and no problems. The tires were defective. It was confirmed once looked at. Thank you for all the nasty concerns and to others who actually have a life.

I guess you dropped out of high school at a young age?? Read the fine print EVERY TIRE MILEAGE WARRANTY GETS PRORATED. My guess is by the size of that tire is probably maybe a Ford F150??? or a ford SUV???? Instead of cheaping out and buying an F150 and loading it up with all kinds of crap you should of stepped it up and bought a vehicle that can handle whatever you are using it for. Or maybe you are just 300lbs and you are one of those customers that needs to be in the vehicle while its aligned cause your a touch overweight. You need some education.

 most tires dont last the stated milage this is do to the diffrent alignment settings for most vehicles .If its a car desined to handle well then they will not last long because of the angles the tires run at to give you the performance you expect.Also maintence plays a hugh role in tire wear rotation tires pressures and regular alignments.I cant tell you how may vehicles Ive worked on that never had the tires rotated an alignment or incorrect air pressure.It has also been my experance that the people the wine the most are the ones the dont do their maintence

You are clearly an idiot!

This is how all tire warranties work. Read the fine print before going nutso. There used to be a time when 30,000 miles was about the max you would get out of a tire. Consider also that softer tires, which give you a smoother ride, will have shorter tread life. High-mileage tires have harder rubber. Most new vehicles have 30K tires on them from the factory because of the softer ride.

I'm a regular customer of my local Tires Plus, and they're very much up-front about this.

Other things to be sure of when dealing with tire warranties (as I've inadvertently managed to void TWO sets of tire warranties in the last 12 months!)

Rotate your tires every 7500 miles (i.e. *every* time you get your oil change) - This came and bit me in the butt with some Michelin tires I bought at Costco, that had worn down within half of their 80,000-mile treadwear warranty. I had been rotating every 15,000, and that was apparently insufficient. Costco honored the warranty anyway (which impressed the socks off me), but it was still prorated. $300 for new tires was a hell of a lot better than $700.

Make sure your alignment is good. Bad alignment will cause uneven wear, which will void the tire warranty.

Make sure inflation is correct on a monthly basis. Again, poor inflation causes uneven wear, which will void the warranty.

  Did you even bother to read the warranty?  Most (sensible) people would do that before claiming that they were ripped off.   Go read it and come back and tell us where it says you get free tires if they wear out before 60K miles.   Do that and your ripoff report might actually make some sense.

 

This is how all tire warranty's work! Did you think they would just give you a free set of tires after 30k miles? If they did this, people would claim at 58k miles that the tires were bad..and then expect another free set of tires.
