| Tire problems |
While driving on the hwy I started noticing that my vehicle was not driving correctly. . . . After finding the nearest exit a passenger from another vehicle informed me that my tire was flat. . . When I pulled over I noticed that the tire was completely flat. . . . The tire inspector checked the tire and found several air pockets . . . . He also noticed that the tire was shreaded severely and had a lots of tire pieces (dust) in the inside. . . . He also went as far as to say that the tire looked as if someone had been cooking inside of it. . . The tire looked as if it had been at least 3 years old not 1 month. (tiresize: 235/45r17).
Consumer says that there is any option on larger or smaller tires. The larger tires make the steering stiff on turns. Dealer has been contacted.
