They don't want change the tires they are dry rot. What is my right.
A:
Tires are not covered under the California used car implied warranty law.
However, you might try suing in small claims court for the cost of replacing the tires.

A:
Under California law, when you purchase a vehicle from a dealership, it should be in a safe and drivable condition. If the tires were dry rotted and caused a blowout just three days after purchase, it's likely that the dealership is responsible for providing you with safe and roadworthy tires. You may have a right to demand that the dealership replace the tires or rectify the situation under implied warranties and consumer protection laws.
