Judge and everyone...thanks...I have an appointment Friday morning to have them look at this...I was thinking as you say that "defects in workmanship" should cover it but I am old enough to have felt the sting of the loopholes many manufacturers find to not uphold their warranty's...if it gets into an I pay part of the tab, I am not so sure I want to replace these with more B.F. Goodrich tires...I don't have a problem with getting bum tires but I won't reward them by buying another set if they don't warranty them...I have read about the General Exclaim UHPs and many like them BUT some did not and I don't want to be cheap with my car...money saved at this point will quickly be forgotten if I try to drive Summer tires in the colder (but not Winter) weather of Chicagoland...I have usually liked Goodyear tires and also thought of the Eagle F1 A/S but mixed reviews on those too...but I don't want to get ahead of myself just yet...

Thanks,
Bill
