Tires · reported Dec 8, 2010
In 2004 I bought a newflat bed trailer which has four tires. I had a tire failure with less than 2000 miles. The trailer had compass tires,made by hangzhou zhongee rubber co., which I discovered has a recall. I contacted the firm representing the factory . After filling out the required forms , information , pictures, and DOT codes they said they would take care of it. I asked for a voucher to replace the tires at there dealer. I have sence received a check for $218.40. That amount will only replace one tire. The question is, do I have any recourse in getting the other three tires replaced?
