I feel cheated - this is the note I posted on face book to Tiger Wheel and Tyres

I drive a Renault Capture which I purchase new in May 2016. I am a pensioner, so my mileage is not very high. On Sunday 14 I accidentially drove over a curb in the Rosebank Shopping Mall and my back left hand tyre went flat. I went to Tiger Wheels and Tyre in Fourways on Monday morning and was told that this particular Michelin Tyre has been out of production since 2015. So I bought a 2016 car from Renault which had 2015 tyres on which had gone out of production? I mentioned this to him and he says, well, you have done 65.000 kilometres and tyres these days do not last much longer than that. Best you change all four tyres, which he did. I took the tyres home with me as my daughter in law wanted them for the children to play with. My Speedometer reads 26692 on top and 6777.7 at the bottom. How does turn into 65.000 k? Ryan said to me you have done 5 years on these tyres, you cannot expect more. I told him that I'd only had the car for 2 years. I was served by Ryan . We had a braai at my sons house yesterday and the children were playing with my tyres, I asked each and every adult in the group whether they thought that they were 'finished.

I seriously feel that I have been taken for a ride and want you to investigate this matter and present me with a solution.
