My Front drivers side tire got damaged in the horrid rain here in NYC two days ago. it was a cut on the wall of the tire. Ofcourse, there is no chance of repairing the damage.

The worst part of the situation is, my car is brand new, the tires only have 400 miles on them. The tires on the tC's, the S32A's, are on NATIONAL BACKORDER. how that happens, i have no clue. I called every place listed on Yokohama's website in the NYC area, and no one has them.

Any suggestions on what i should do? i would really just like to replace the tire so it's the same all around. tirerack.com is backordered too, and fleabay only has used ones with a lot of mileage on them. i'm waiting for a couple of calls back from bronx retailers to verify if they have them in stock.


Yokohama said it was a "road hazard" which isn't covered under the warranty... sucks. but the good news is, the lady on the phone told me since i've only had the car two weeks, as a "complimentary" whatever, they would let me purchase a new tire from where i can get one, and they would pick up the old one and reimburse me for the cost of the new tire.

Just thought i would share the tidbit witt all of you.

 

don't get the stock Yokohama. Their performance are not worth the price.
Since you are reimburse for the tire, Free is always good.

If you ever getting a new set of tire. Look up the following tires:

Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Toyo Proxes 4
