SLOPONY
Gotta love Stangs
Ok so I have had a vibration over 100 miles an hour with my car since I bought it from the original owner. Who never had a vibration. He is my buddy so I know it's true.
The first thing I did to the car was replace all 4 tires. Well after geoing through every thing else and finding nothing, I checked the tires. Both rear tires are severly out of round. They are 305/35R20 nitto NT555R drag radials. By out of round I mean running the car on Jack stands in gear at 20mph you can see it. So I took a mag base and put a silver sharpie in it and rolled the tire to the high spot and ran it in gear up to 20 again. 30% of BOTH rear tires had no marks on them........ I have about 2000 miles on these tires.
So I called nitto......
First thing out of the ass clowns mouth.... "Where were you going over 100 miles per hour ?" I told him on the turn pike, and at the track. He instantly tells me that any warranty is voided by mis-use, or competition use, especially drag racing!!!
He then tells me that the tire was intended fir street use, and that does not include speeds over 75 mph, and the workmanship warranty is only good for the first 1/32" of tread ware......
First off, I'm not hitching about wear. I'm hitching about $700 worth of tires that are junk after 2000 miles and 3 track passes. They have plenty of tread, there just fucking foot ball shaped!!!
Who the hell makes a DRAG RADIAL that you can't drag race on? And who the hell makes a tire with a 1/32" workmanship warranty???
I want to fly to Cali and beat this ass hat with my tire!! I'm so lissed right now I want to smoke all 4 tires to the cords and send them back to them with dead squirrles inside them all.
If I had the money, you can bet your ass those tires would be coming off that car in a hurry, and I'd be looking for some roadkill!!!!
