Warren:

I haven't a clue. It sounds strange to me, but I've known the owner of this shop for about 15 yrs. - not one to fantasize.

He saw this on about a half dozen cars. All were towed in. All of the owners claiming they had been buying gas at the local Wal-Mart.

Who Knows.

On a different note, WM sells brand name tires..ie.. Good Year, but try getting a warranty issue on one of these tires resolved at a Good Year dealer. They are made by Good Year under contract for WM. Not the same quality as regular Good Year.

Who knows who they get their gas from or what quality controls are/are not being used.
