They said I could get 4 new tires FREE! All I had to do was pay for labor and disposal and buy a warranty.

So I have 4 brand new tires, but I had to pay $129. Is that free?

Twinks:

Know what I think you should do??

I think you should take the other lady's car (the one with the exploding sour milk), I think you should drive it to the tire place.

I think you should open the doors. I think you should then call over the guy who charged you the money to replace the tires and you should say:

"if you don't give me back my money, I'm leaving this sour milk car right on your doorstep".

Think that'll work?????? lol

Okay, I just called NHSTA and they referred me to the State Atty General. I left a message there, so waiting for a call back.

I thing I didn't mention is that the recall was "voluntary" by the manufacturer (Falken). And they (Big O) didn't offer me the same tires -- they automatically assigned me the better grade.

I dunno, it just doesn't feel right to have to pay $129 for tires that should have lasted at least twice as long.

Thanks for your input everyone -- I'll give you an update when I hear back from Atty Gen.
