Sears review: extended warranty on tires ( 1 comment)

I purchased tires at Sears on [protected] with road hazard warranty, and when I had a flat that could not be repaired on [protected], with only 29, 685 miles on the tires, I could not find a Sears tire center in the area I was at the time, so I drove the vehicle back to Kingsport Sears store to get the tire replaced.

When I attempted to get the tire replaced, I was informed that the road hazard warranty was only good for 4 years and I had lost out by 10 days. The tire with a 60, 000 mile tread life warranty, had only 29, 896 miles at the time I got to the Sears store but was not able to be compensated via the road hazard warranty.

Since the average distance drivers drive per year is between 10, 000 and 12, 000 miles, the "so called" road hazard warranty only coveres a little over 65% of the tread life of the tire, which I find not too honest.

To make matters worse, since my tire only had 29, 685 miles on it when it failed, my road hazzard warranty was not even good for 50% of the tread life.
