DISCOUNT TIRES PROVIDED ME TIRES WITH A 195/50-15 SIZE, WHEN MY VEHICLE CALLS FOR A 195/55-15 SIZE. I HAD BEEN DRIVING IT AND MY TIRES KEPT DEFLATING. I FINALLY WENT SOMEONE ELSE TO GET THEM REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES GIVEN TO ME DID NOT MEET MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS. IF THIS OKAY FOR A COMPANY TO PROVIDE THE WRONG SIZE TIRES? ARE THERE ANY RULES AGAINST THIS? *JB

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE AND THE CAR JUST STOP RUNNING. HAD IT TOWED TO ARLINGTON ACURA IN PALATINE. 1275 E DUNDEE RD. , PALATINE, IL. (847) 991 9000 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL MAY 31, 2005. THEY HAVE HAD IT ALL NOW THEY TELL ME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SAID SOMETHING BROKE IN THE ENGINE THAT'S WHY IT STOPPED RUNNING. I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT BUT THEY KEEP SAYING THEY WILL NOT. WHY DO THEY PUT A WARRANTY ON A CAR IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STAND BEHIND IT. I NEED YOU HELP TO GET IT FIXED. THANK YOU. *PH *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768325
