I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE UNIROYAL TIGER PAW TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY 2003 PONTIAC MONTANA THUNDER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME TIRE 4 TIMES AT A COST TO ME. EACH TIME THE TIRE WAS EASILY PUNCTURED OR SHREDDED ON ME. WE HAD NOTICED THE TIRE SEEMED TO BE LOSING AIR SO WE PUMPED IT UP AND THEN PROCEEDED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR FIX A FLAT. THIS DID NOT WORK HOWEVER... WE WERE DRIVING FROM CT TO NY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD THUMP THUMP, WE PULLED OVER TO FIND THAT THE TIRE HAD GONE FLAT. WHEN WE REMOVED THE TIRE WE FOUND THAT ALMOST ALL THE TREAD WAS WORN ON THE INSIDE AND THAT A HUGE INDENTATION WAS DEVELOPING IN THE WALL OF THE TIRE. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE UNIROYA

WE WERE DRIVING HOME WITH OUR KIDS IN OUR 1995 PONTIAC TRANSPORT WHEN WE HIT A POT HOLE. IT SEEMED LIKE THE ALIGNMENT WENT BAD BUT WHEN WE GOT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS BENT. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND BOTH MECHANICS SAID THAT THE WELDING THAT HOLDS THE STRUT TO THE FRAME/BODY CAME UNWELDED. THEY SAID THAT THEY NEVER SAY A WELDING THAT WAS DONE AT THE FACTORY COME UNWELDED LIKE THAT AND THAT IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I CAN'T DRIVE THE PONTIAC. CAN YOU ASSIST US IN ANYWAY?
