Ok fine I'll bite

Read the warranty

Unless this tire was the one installed as original equipment as stated I don't see any warranty expressed or implied!
Read the first line,
"Mileage warranties apply to tires that come as original equipment on model year 2011 and later vehicles"

So if this fits your profile all that is left is to prove your vehicles mechanical integrity!

Back to a mower... if you want to purchase one more machine and run it until you get tired of doing this for yourself might I recommend a true commercial grade zero turn from Kubota, Dixie Chopper, Scag, Exmark or similar? It will cost you 8 to 12K, but will outlive you.

If this may interest you, I'll see if I can find something in your area.

I'm very interested! Many Thanks!

I know you say it doesn't need an alignment, but have you had it checked? A little bit of toe in might still wear the tires evenly but wear them faster. The

I had the alignment checked, but not at the place where I bought the tires. I had it done at an old car repair shop ("old" meaning they've been in business a long time and they're honest). Alignment was perfect.

Auto tires probably will not fit a riding lawnmower.


(Buy your tires elsewhere and file a small claims court suit against them.)

Or you could provide a name and phone number of the shop and we can all schedule a time to get 4 tires replaced on our jags next week....
