I purchased a full set of futura 775 P205/65R15 tires for 1998 Honda Accord on 05/01/2005 from pep boys store. Within aprox. 6 months, two of the tires developed broken/ separated belts causing severe handling/ drivable problems. The store was reluctant to replace all tires, but replaced the two faulty tires with 2000lte tires. Now a third tire has developed the same issue. I replaced it with a good used tire and have kept the broken one for possible return to store.
