Consumer Description

LOST STEERING CONTROL ON JEEP CHEROKEE WHEN HITTING BUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FRONT END HAD SEVERE LATERAL OSCILLATION WITH NO DAMPING; STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. HAD TO SLOW VEHICLE TO BELOW 35 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL. VERY HAZARDOUS ON HIGHWAYS! INSPECTION AT REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED ONE FRONT TIRE HAD BROKEN STEEL BELT AND OTHER TIRE HAD PARTIAL BELT SHIFT. TIRES WERE 2.5 YRS OLD AND HAD ONLY 18 K MILES. NO EVIDENCE OF ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE WAS PRESENT. REPLACED ALL TIRES ON VEHICLE AND PROBLEMS WERE ELIMINATED. TIRES WERE SUPER SPORT AP RADIALS MANUFACTURED BY GOODYEAR. I UNDERSTAND THESE TIRES ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. *TR
