Back in January I had 4 flat tires in a two week span, one of the tires was shot. The tire shop said it was rocks coming thru the tires. The tires are Goodyear Wrangler ST's on a 2000 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with 20,000 miles on the tires. I drive on 3 miles of gravel road and then 20 miles of blacktop. I complained to the service manager at the local Chevy dealer where I bought the truck. After 6 WEEKS, he finally got back to me, saying that his regional manager called it 'road hazard' and they weren't going to help me. I called Chevy's 800 number and they said they couldn't help me. My contention is that Chevy put the wrong tires on a 4x4 truck. You should be able to at least drive down a gravel road without getting flats!! My wife was driving the same road with her car without getting flats. Same with my neighbors. Am I out of line complaining about the tires? Any ideas on what else to do about the tires, who else I can complain to?
Nice to finally meet you tonight. Make sure you tell me who you are again next time you come in. I will probably forget.
Let me know when you are dropping in again and I'll make sure we have more of those beverages around!
This northern boy needs a little help with this one.
Dried up kill hole in the duck timber?
Quicksand that all the deer fell into?
Cool lighting in a forest that’s so different from ours?
I’ve never been in the AR woods before but you’ve arrived by the looks of it.
Good luck.
