Owner Narrative
ON 5/19/2010 I PURCHASED 6 CHAPARRAL TIRES SIZE 2257516 FOR MY 2005 DUTCHMEN CLASS C MOTORHOME ON A FORD E450 CHASSIS. WHILE ON A VACATION TRIP TO THE WEST THE 4 REAR TIRES DEVELOPED BLISTERS. THIS INITIATED REPLACING ALL 4 OF THEM. WE DECIDED TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES ALSO BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. OF A BLOW OUT. THE TIRES HAD ONLY 7945 MILES ON THEM. ALL THIS CAN BE DOCUMENTED WITH RECEIPTS. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD THEREFORE NOT GUARANTEED. I MAINTAIN THIS IS NOT A ROAD HAZARD BUT DEFECTS IN THE TIRES. THIS OCCURRED ON 9/11/2013. I CONTACTED 2 COMPANIES ON LINE THAT DEAL IN THIS TIRE BRAND AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. I AM CONTACTING YOU TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS CONDITION AND PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION FROM THIS COMPANY. I HAVE ASKED FOR COMPENSATION BUT WAS IGNORED. *TR
