I bought a douglas tire from wal-mart on Jan 27, 2011. Today is Feb. 21, 2011. The sidewall of the tire completely separated about an hour ago while my son was driving it on the highway.We are lucky he wasn't hurt. Well needless to say wal mart will not replace the tire. I believe it had to be a defect in the tire since it has been less than a month since I purchased it and the way it came apart.

I am very upset I bought forus tires from Walmart which were Douglas and I had nothing but bad luck.I have had to return 3 times to have the tires fixed. I do not live close to the Walmart and this has been a inconvience. Would not recommend these tires or Walmart to anyone.

I got new tires for my 2001 mini-van it a douglas tire. i got it july3 2007 .i brought to that day. i drove less then 100 miles. i had a blow out on the side of the tire.i took it back i had my slip ticket. on the back of the ticket it said they are good for 90 days.it had less then 100 miles and the person said to bad. i told with the manger of wal-mart he yelled at me and my son to f---k off. so i left the store. i got a ford ranger 2000 and last night i was going to town and had a side blow out the same, place as the on on my van.the truck came with new dougl;as tires on when, i got it. the douglas isnt no good and it happened at 9;00 pm the tire willl blow out on the side.i havent got a tire in wal-mart for 1 year.but see i just got the truck a year ago with those dam tire on .i changed the front 2 about 3 months agp i have 2 on the back to replace.. i have health problem my heart is on the wrong side .so i dont need to have a wreck with those tire. so people out there dont buy those tire.

I purchased a new Ford Focus and have been the sole owner since 2001. I have also used Wal-Mart for my tires since the cars purchase. However in the last few years, in my opinion, the tires have been of a low quality and have been unreliable and unsafe.

On January 26, 2007 I purchased 4 Douglas Xtra-Trac P185/65R14 tires. I had them installed; I also purchased the road hazard and lifetime balance and rotation. The tire wore evenly and still has plenty of tread on them. However in Feb/March of 2008 the car developed a violent shake. We pulled the car over and found a large bulge in the tire. We took the car to Wal-mart and they replaced the tire giving us a $13.00 pro-rated credit for the unused portion of the 45000 mile tire. On September 2008, The car again developed a similar violent shake again, however we could not find the cause, nor could the Wal-mart service technician (who did not drive the car; he just visually inspected the tires. The car set for two months because I believed the suspension needed replaced. In December the car still had a shake and I parked it again, waiting for money to fix the suspension. In January 2009 I took the car into a tire shop (Other than Wal-Mart) they informed me all the tires steel belts were separated. I am amazed at the poor quality of these tires. I was told by Wal-mart that they were 45000 miles, but barely got 30, 000 miles on the when they started separating.

I also am concerned that I purchased 4 new Douglas tires for my Girlfriends’ 2001 Saturn. I am very concerned that I had received such poor quality tires on my car, that I will replace hers also when I replace mine.

I will also not be using Good Year or Wal-mart for any tire purchase in the future.
