Custom car enthusiasts spend significant sums on parts and accessories to dress up their vehicles. One such product, Vogue tires, are popular with these consumers because they have a nostalgic "whitewall" and a unique, rich looking gold stripe around the tire. These tires are available as a custom, after-market purchase and also come equipped on certain high end cars in the Cadillac line, among others. When sold separately, these tires cost $300-400 per tire. However reportedly these tires often are not lasting as long as this substantial price would warrant. Many consumers of Vogue tires have reported serious problems and premature tire failures.
Specifically, owners have reported more than normal incidences of bulging, cracking sidewalls, tread separation, vibration and poor handling even after multiple balancings, as well as dangerous blowouts at high speeds. These problems seem to arise long before the normal tire life expectancy. Among the consumers making these reports, there has emerged a disturbing pattern to the complaints that the Vogue Tyre and Rubber Company does not acknowledge that there is a problem; and that when faced with claims for replacement, the company fails to live up to the promises in its limited warranty.
