Wal-Mart
Douglas Tire Sidewalls Splitting Less Than Two Years After Purchase

Cars & Transport

I have read that Wal-Mart is selling bad tires and felt like this was some kind of urban legend. I bought a set of Douglas Tires from them in March- April after returning from a year in Iraq.

The tires seemed to be holding up for the most part and I felt I was one of the lucky one's. Why did I think that?! Now here it is not 2 years later that I have had these tires just to find out from a slow leak at the bead of a tire that they are bad.

The tire shop told me that the sidewalls of all 4 tires are splitting and they look like small lightning bolts in the sides of the tires. I have never had tires do this.

What I am in need of is how to approach Wal-Mart in order to resolve this issue, I DO NOT want anymore tires from them as they have lost my confidence, they should stick to what they are good at which is everything else.

I did not buy the road hazard coverage which cover's normal wear and tear, so is this normal wear and tear?
