TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE VEHICLE HAD GOODYEAR ASSURANCE COMFORTED TIRES, TIRE SIZE 215/55R17. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2006. THERE WAS ONE TIRE THAT EXHIBITED AN INDENTATION IN THE SIDE WALL AND EXCESSIVE WEAR THAT OCCURRED AFTER 5,000 MILES WHICH WAS AN EXTREMELY EARLY STAGE TO EXPERIENCE THE DEFECTS. THE OTHER TWO TIRES WOULD LOOSE AIR PRESSURE AND COMPLETELY DEFLATE. THE TIRES WERE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECTS AND INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THERE WAS A DISCOUNT OFFERED TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TIRE TO REPLACE THE EXCESSIVELY WORN TIRE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE TIRE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

AFTER GETTING A FLAT TIRE, I BOUGHT TWO TIRES AT NTB, WALTHAM, MA TO REPLACE THE FLAT AND THE OLD SPARE TIRE. THE NEW TIRES (UNI TIGER PAW) WERE PUT ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE OTHER 3 TIRES WERE ROTATED TO THE BACK AND TO THE SPARE. I WAS ALSO CHARGED FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. WITHIN 100 MILES, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEGAN MAKING A LOUD THUMPING NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CALLED AAA. THE TIRE WAS FINE, BUT IT WAS ON THE VERGE OF FALLING OFF. AAA TIGHTENED IT AND CHECKED ALL THE OTHER TIRES, WHICH WERE FINE, AND I WAS ON MY WAY AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE LUG NUTS ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS EVENT DUE TO HUMAN ERROR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT HOW FREQUENTLY SUCH MISHAPS OCCUR AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. I WILL ALSO CONTACT NTB TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS EVENT. *TR
