I have problems with Pro Comp Tires.<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"></P>


I took my truck to an independent ASE facility they stated that these PRO COMP tires were indeed DEFECTIVE and caused my vehicle to drift twards one way of the road after I had my brand new truck aligned.</P>



Having college research drilled into my brain, I began to research these tires and found that there are industry set standards:

N 87 mph 140 km/h Temporary Spare Tires
P 93 mph 150 km/h
Q 99 mph 160 km/h Studless &amp; Studdable Winter Tires
R 106 mph 170 km/h H.D. Light Truck Tires
S 112 mph 180 km/h Family Sedans &amp; Vans
T 118 mph 190 km/h Family Sedans &amp; Vans
U 124 mph 200 km/h
H 130 mph 210 km/h Sport Sedans &amp; Coupes
V 149 mph 240 km/h Sport Sedans, Coupes &amp; Sports Cars

Wouldn't you know it, what is posted on these tires isn't THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. These PRO COMP tires depicted "LOAD RANGE "D" on them,<FONT color=red> but all 4 tires were missing the the industry standard MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE TIRE SPEED LETTER, nowhere to be found.</font>

4 wheel Parts refused to refund and/or replace my tires (12,000 mile) even though I had purchased their $100.00 tire warranty.<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>


So, I took the following actions that gets a corporation into trouble, which really<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">them off. </P>


I decided to look their Company Reliability Report on the Better Business Bureau website located at ww.labbb.org. It stated the following below:</P>


4 wheel Parts has an "Unsatisfactory Record" with the Better Business Bureau when it comes to answering consumer complaints along with the following below:</P>


*Delivery Issues
*Difficulty obtaining Refunds
*Overcharging:<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">
*Poor Installation
*Poor Customer Service
*Billing Disputes
*Failure to Deliver Ordered Merchandise /Missing Items/Incorrect Items</P>


All this can be verified by obtaining a company reliability report from the Better Business Bureau at ww.labbb.org</P>


If I had read the BBB reliability report on 4 wheel parts or somebody would have warned me, I would have not have spent $15,000.00 at their store.
