I purchased my car not too long ago, it still have under 3500k.
This past weekend, my wife said my tire sounded funny and had sound. I checked and discovered the side wall is bulging/bubbling. I took it to Discount Tire, and they said it would need to be replaced. However, being so new... to take it to the dealer and see if they can replace it under warranty.
I called the dealer where I purchased the car from, and they basically would need to order the tires and I would have to pay $18x out of pockey + $20 installation charge.
In short, obviously dealer doesn't seem to honor this, and I understand the vehicle and tires are separate. I know wear in tear can be of many factors. However, does our stock "Continental" tires have warrarny for dealers or the vehicle buyer?
I see https://www.continentaltire.com/warranty the tire's website has warranty and if its within 12 months. There is free replacement. However, would this need to be through the dealer; as, I didn't specifically purchase the original tires that came with the vehicle?
For $18x, I may as well get new tires. However, that is what I do not want to do, if I do not have to. Why pay for one new tire for that price; when I may as well get better tires for less... Anyone had this issue? What can you suggest for me to get this replaced "free of charge" by dealer, Continental or Discount tire?
