Mickey Thompson gave me some junk ET Street Radials

[patriotformula]

Let me start by saying I was a HUGE fan of Mickey Thompsons ET Street Radials... Well I bought a set about a month ago brand new (won't name the sponsor because they've tried to help me)... I have put just shy of 800 miles on them and about 3-4 track passes... :ripped:

Well lately I have noticed them feathering up something terrible and they actually fall apart as I drive down the road. My buddy who was following me a week or so ago said that as I drove through town it would just leave black marks on the road quite often (and no i wasnt doing a burnout) With 800 miles on my car they are almost completely gone (treads are almost flat with the rest of the tire). I'm thinking I have a bad set of tires because my buddy who bought them at the same time as me and has taken his car to the track more and cruises with me everytime we go out still has more then half tread left... and he's driving around on a spool!

Now I'm not one to complain and throw a big fit but this is unheard of as my last set went for about 7000 miles and I put about 30-40 track passes and tons of burnouts on them. So I called Mickey Thompson Monday and have got nothing but the run around. There customer service is piss poor and they have no care in the world for the little guy (who just paid $400 for a set of tires and would intend to buy them as every set in the future). The sales rep even said that these should get 3-5000 miles. Had I got that much out of them I'd be MORE then happy. Hell I would have bought a regular set of ET streets had I known these were gonna wear out so fast! The next representative claimed that my car was "too heavy, and the heat from the road was ruining the tires"... Sounds like a runaround to me. If this was true my car which weighed more last year would have done the same thing as they did this year to the tires. Anyways I'm getting nowhere so far. Can anyone help me,

I dont have the money to buy another $400 set of tires that I thought would last me most of the year as it is. If you could supply me with an email/phone number of someone higher up in the company or anyone that could help that'd be great!

Heres a few pictures of these junk defective tires i got... remember this is after only 800 miles... and about 4 track passes!
