08 a4 brand spakin new tire from the dealer.

bitch a the city for a new tire?
My brother complained to the city about the 427, before all the construction, about rocks breaking 2 of his windshields. They paid for both of them, might be the same situation with the tires.
my friend worked for caa he had a few people pop there tires because of pot holes city paid for it. steeles has alot of pot holes. 401 sucks too ive had a rock hit the side of my old car like a big 1 it just flew at the car. luckily it was just a mazda protege i didnt care.
as long as the city knows the pot hole was already there you will get your claim ive complaned here in peterborough about pot holes and when i hit one of them and broke my toe arm they had to replace it becuase i already complained about the hole so if no ones complained then your screwed becuase they had no time to fix it but…if some one has complained just goto city hall with a bill for a tire and tow or ask them where they would like you to take it to get fixed
Any luck Sky? Im in the same situation, just blew the side wall out and bent the rim a hour ago. In my case it was a very poor construction job that they had done weeks prior and i didn’t see the 4-5" dip in the road because it was full of water. Not even exaggerating it was huge! There were no construction signs or work being done either. Had it been my 240…the whole front end would have been gone.
THe dealership won’t warrenty the tire unless it has road hazard warrenty and I doubt you have it. Theres a long process to get the city to pay for the tire.
If the dealership likes you and they want as a repeat customer, they will warrant it for you and claim it some other way to make up their cost.
Talk to the service manager.
Keele/Parkside from Lakeshore to Bloor and beyond is a fucking disaster! i have a brand new Pontiac G5 rental for the week while the Jetta is in the shop (laugh all you want…car is a piece of shit) and i seriously thought i was going to blow a tire out this morning driving down that stretch of road. dodging potholes like they were cones.
most of the gardiner is a piece of shit too, and the 427.
