Dear friends:

My friend (in San Jose) bought his car from an old gentleman who had the car's 4 tires changed with 4 new Michelin Rainforce (60,000 miles warranty) when the car's mileage was 80,000 miles. Now it's about 98,000 miles and one front tire was blown up (on the sidewall). I wonder whether the tire shop will honor the warranty even though my friend is not the original tire buyer.

The tire shop (Discount Tires Co. - tires.com) that originally changed the tires is located in San Diego, but my friend wants to go to a similar tire shop (also belonging to Discount Tires Co.) in San Jose.

Will they honor the warranty?

Thanks for your information.

Best regards,

Eric
