I have had 2 tires separate in the last two months. Prior to this recent event I had another tire separation and was given replacement tires instead of a refund. The las event has left substantial damage to my car. I have both of the old tires and pictures of my car damage. I have contacted a lawyer an he is the one that instructed me to file a complaint with you.
