Consumer Description

TIRES-- CONTINENTAL TIRES ON MY 1 YEAR OLD FORD TAURUS-- HAD A BAD SHIMMY WHEN DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP. AS THEY ARE 15 MONTHS OLD I HAVE NO WARRANTY COVERAGE LEFT ON TIRES. BOTH FRONT TIRES THE BELTS "HAD SLID"-I LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES WHICH ARE ON THOUSANDS OF TAURUS AND WINDSTAR VANS. I LEARNED SOMETIMES THEY "BULGE" OUT THE SIDES WHEN THE BELTS SLIDE INSIDE-- MINE HAD NOT- NEW TIRES FIXED THE DRIVING PROBLEM BUT I THINK IT IS DISGUSTING AS THEY ONLY HAD 15,000 MILES ON THEM AND I HAVE NO WARRANTY COVERAGE AT ALL-THEY ARE UNSAFE AND SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO IT. THANK YOU. MY MODEL # ON THE TIRE IS P21560R1694T TOURING CONTACT AS. *JB
