Versado LX II

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTICED THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM TIRES AND VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON ONE OF THE TIRES AND THE BULGE WAS ON THE TREADS. THE TIRE STORE DESCRIBED THIS AS TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THREE MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. TWO OF THE FOUR TOYO VERSADO TIRES ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS A RESULT OF TREAD SEPARATION. THE RETAIL STORE WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE TIRES GAVE ME A CREDIT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES. THEY KEPT THE FAILED TIRES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, REAR TOYO TIRE BLEW OUT. REQUIRED REPLACING 2 TIRES, THE ONE BLOW OUT AND ANOTHER IN FRONT THAT HAD TREAD SEPARATION ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY TIRE MECHANIC. UPON RETURN FROM TRIP, TAKEN BACK TO INSTALLATION DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED TOYO WHO OFFERED A $30 REFUND ON EACH. SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS FOR 4 TIRES, THE TWO REMAINING TIRES WERE ALSO AT RISK FOR SIMILAR BLOW OUT. TOYO DID NOT WANT TO OFFER REFUND UNLESS PROOF OF TIRE ROTATION WAS PROVIDED. THE ISSUE WAS ULTIMATELY WITH A FAULTY BLOW-OUT (3 TIRE DEALERS STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE BUT A DEFECT) AND NOT A MATTER OF GETTING REFUND YET TOYO'S FOCUS WAS ON PROVING THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT MAINTAINED RATHER THAN DEALING WITH AN OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT OUT IN THE MARKET.
