7 Tire problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2005

I bought some new toyo m-55 tires less than a month ago. These tires are out of round and bounce and vibrate horribly even though they have been balanced twice. Also they handle terrible to the point where one could lose control or flip a vehicle. The tires feel like radial tires on one end and bias ply on the other. Very dangerous situation. I can not maintain the speed limit because of the serious up and down bounce motion of these tires. If someone would like to take a ride in my truck, I would be more than glad to even let them drive the thing. These things make a the Ford explorer thing look like a picnic.
