We purchased 4 LT235/75R 15 lrc big foot A/T dual tires at $172.79 a piece 3/14/06, spending $787.31. Sunday 6/24/07 on highway 40 at a speed limit of 75mph, the right front tire blew out, almost flipping us over, which would have created enormous damage to ourselves and our vehicle. Luckily, I stabilized the vehicle and pulled off the road. Tuesday 6/26/07 we went to big O tires at 2010 E. lake mead blvd, North las vegas, nv to get a replacement. Manny was apparently unable to locate a replacement tire, despite checking throughout las vegas and California. How can big O sell tires with a supposed guarantee when they can't locate any such tires with which to replace them" this morning manny put on another brand tire, supposedly of equivalent value and durability. It is a P, not lt, tire?how is that equivalent? it has a speed rating of S vs. The rest of the tires have a speed rating of Q. and on the big O tire web site it states, ?never mix tires with different speed ratings, as this may cause serious handling problems.? so much for equivalence! furthermore, it is a spector advanta tire, and I can find absolutely no information on the internet as to who makes this tire. What kind of warranty am I going to have on the tire? I have another Toyota truck, which also had a tire blow-out, the day after the one mentioned above. These tires came with our above truck and were not big O tires. The store manager suggested the tires were starting to dry rot, so therefore I purchased 4 brand new tires from him for that truck. He sold me prime well tires, and I had to pay for a road hazard warranty, which would have been included in a purchase of big O tires. He?S checked off that it?S a three-year road-hazard 40,000 mile warranty. In the small print it says, ?every new tire sold by big O tires?carries a manufacturer warranty against material and workmanship?? is that the mileage warranty? by the manufacturer, giti, in china"
