Bought 2 SuperMax TM-1 235/45R17 94 H Tires thru Walmart.com from Tirebros. Treadlife advertised as 45K. At less than 20K I brought them in to a tire shop because of terrible pulling while driving. Two tire shops showed me where the the bands were separating, necessitating replacement for safety issue of catastrophic tire tearing apart at speed. Tirebros, the sellers, would not return several emails for warranty and never answered the support phone. Because of that, it's possible they know they are selling bad tires. There is also a page of all negative reviews: https://www.wmtsellers.com/tire-bros#review
