I have purchased 3 tires through Amazon. 2 tires on February 14th 2023 and 1 tire on July 25th 2023. I have since replaced 2 tires due to them being defective. The latest tire purchased February 14th 2023 now has a bubble on the tire. All tires have been professionally installed and balanced. I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible. Tires should last longer than this. I have attached invoices and pictures. Multiple attempts have been made to contact Amazon and Turbo Wholesale without any resolve. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) Thank you, Amir Azam

On a recent service visit to Lexus on August 4, 2010 I was informed that 'all 4 dunlop tires are showing the metal cords out of them and are unsafe to drive'. each time I bring the vehicle in for service I request that they check tire, brake wear and tire pressure. On December 9, 2009 I was informed that I had sufficient tread left on the tires and that the brakes were fine. At that time the mileage on my vehicle was 19,235 miles. I question how my tires went from safe to drive to unsafe to drive in 3,198 miles. Additionally all four tires have 7/32nds of tread-ware remaining in the center of each tire. Lexus claims this inside tread-ware is due to soft tires. Had I not been conscientious in checking my tires I believe these tires would have blown out.

The complaint has nothing to do with an accident but the poor wear of dunlop sp sport maxx tires. I have a 2007 Lexus LS460 and the front tire/driver side blew out. I replaced it with the spare tire and within two weeks my wife went to have the car serviced for an oil change. It was brought and shown to her attention that all of the tires on the car are wearing poorly. This car has only 22520 miles on it and to have to replace all four tires from the time of purchase because of the failure of dunlops manufacturing is a disgrace. I am reporting this in order to have this researched and hoping for some answers and/or compensation. If not, I will have to go further to get some type of resolution. My wife was lucky not to have been in an accident because of this. She was definitely informed that she needs to replace these tires because it would not be safe to drive very long with the tires condition. Even the spare that was placed on the car and driven for two weeks is starting to show signs of the same problem. There has to be something wrong with the manufacturing of the tires and would like very much to get some answers. Thank you very much for your time.
