Hello:
An aggravating story regarding my mother-in-law. She has a 2015 Subaru Forester that she bought new. Just three months ago I drove up to where she lives and got a new set of tires put on it - Michelin Premier A/S. My wife was up to visit her this past week and my MIL mentioned that she had to get a new set of tires because she got a nail in the sidewall of one of them.
My MIL is 90 and drives only very rarely (she's actually in pretty good shape for her age, but yes, it's kind of scary to think she's still driving). I can GUARANTEE YOU that the MIchelins I put on it just three months ago had less than 1,000 miles on them. In all likelihood they had just 300 or 400 miles on them.
When I spoke with her on the phone she was adamant that with an AWD drive vehicle she had to replace all four tires. There was no convincing her. But also too, the tire store that RIPPED HER OFF, karma baby.
When I pressed for details my wife told me I was upsetting her mother and that I should drop the issue. I would not be surprised if my MIL's Subaru now has a set of the cheapest tires imaginable.
Frustrating!
