Let me indulge this hypothetical for a moment...Originally Posted by avid
Assuming you can even get a class together - say 50 people - you will need to be prepared for legals of at least $100,000 as a group (so $2000 each )(my estimate) and the chance of recovering this even with a successful claim is questionable. There is also very little credible evidence of what is causing this (so far) - so you have just as much chance of losing which means more costs.
My suggestion is to put up with this until the tyres have done 20,000 clicks (which isn't long for most drivers) and then swap the tyres. Total cost $800-1000. Or if your tyres are relatively new you could trade them in or sell them on ebay and cut your losses.
I feel for you guys with this problem, but be realistic. Approaching this from a public relations stand point will be far more effective than litigation.
