2006 LAND ROVER LR3 User Comment / Complaint

My wife owns a 2006 land rover lr3. the vehicle is less than 1 year old, and the rear tires are bald. they have approximately 16,000 miles of use. this is clearly a problem with either the car or the tires, and the dealership acknowledged that it was a problem with the alignment of the vehicle. i am concerned because my vehicle was in for a regular service a month ago, and land rover neither mentioned the problem nor took any action to correct the defect. now that the tires are gone, land rover is fixing the problem and replacing the tires. my concern comes from the fact that the tires were worn enough to expose the material under the tread. the wear takes place on the insides of the rear tires, and so is not visible to a casual glance. if we had not noticed the damage when we did, i feel fairly certain that a blowout would have occurred. this is the kind of thing that needs to be prevented and can be prevented if the manufacturer is proactive.  view
