Had a new tire that was not even put on the ground...

Had a new tire that was not even put on the ground yet. It was bad,took over 24 ounces to balance it. They would not help me get a new tire to replace it, because it wasn't bought from them. No matter where the tire has been bought, if it is new or even if it has been driven on. If it is defective, and you sell that tire or can order it you should honor the warranty. I have been working on cars and selling tires since 1975 and have never had this happen before. They can forget about me ever recommending their location, if anybody asks me about them. Mich tires have been notified that they were not willing to warranty a new BF Goodrich tire.
