Because thousands upon thousands of Prius , Fusion , Cruze owners drive around with loud tires which separate after a few years right ??? I am willing to bet most of those customers havent necessarily maintained everything on their vehicles which affect tire wear. We see it all the time, cust will come in, buy $150/ea tire , we get the wheels off, tie rod is loose, we inform them and explain the effect it will have on the new tires and they still decline the repair. Same cust comes in 6 months later " My tires are LOUD " , we pull the car in, same tie rod still loose and the whole tire has uneven wear.
Im not the biggest fan of the Fuelmaxes, but other than an occassional tire requiring alot of weights to balance, neither we nor our cust have noticed any of the afore mentioned issues.
