Well I just noticed my tires were bubbling again. In June I had to jump through many hoops and talk to the regional manager to get my tires replaced. I still had to pay for them because they said since I wasn't the person that purchased the tires I wasn't getting the warranty. Well my right front has bubbled as has my right rear. The front has less than 5000 miles on it and is less than 5 months old. Its an issue I have noticed with all BF Goodrich Excentia GT-H tires I have owned.

Well I have to go in tomorrow and hope they will replace them. The problem is they are again going to hassle me for the backs because I didn't purchase them. The fronts are under my name and I hope they don't cause a fuss. Any words of wisdom on what I should tell them?

do you always buy your tires from walmart?

axemansean

Yes... unfortunately the BFG Excentia's are only sold at Walmart. I don't have the funds to purchase 4 new tires so they keep getting rotated.

MahoneyL80

then why dont you explain how you have been a loyal customer for tires from walmart and you have had serious dissapointments with them in the past and ask to speak to the highest person you can speak to..other then that...go somewhere else and buy better tires...kumhos usually only run between 60-90 a tire depending on rim size

I did that in June when my left rear had bubbled... all I got was a measly $7 off the cost of the tire. These tires aren't cheap at $70 a tire, if they don't do anything tomorrow I am asking for a full refund and getting tires somewhere else.

Maybe they're bubbling from your hardcore autocross driving.

Derek

so you're saying that you've always gotten those particular tires and have experienced the bubbling?






















why not get different tires from now on :doh:

axemansean

Nope... have had the issue numerous times before.

MrFatbooty

Then maybe they just suck.

axemansean

That would mean spending $300 for a new set of tires as opposed to $140 for just two. You know... if they don't change them under warranty I will tell them to refund me my money and go somewhere else.
