Consumer Description

I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES (HANKOOK) AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES DUE TO MINIMAL TREAD LEFT ON THEM, CUPPING AND THEY PROVIDED A HARSH RIDE. THE NEW TIRES AND ORIGINAL WHEELS WERE BALANCED DURING INSTALLATION. THE WHOLE BORREGO SHAKES WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10 AND 35 MPH. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE NEW TIRE INSTALLER AND HAD THEM ALL REBALANCED. IT STILL SHOOK BUT LESS THAN BEFORE. I HAVE HAD THEM REBALANCED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AT TWO DIFFERENT TIRE SALES AND SERVICE RETAILERS SINCE THE FIRST TWO BALANCINGS ON THE NEW TIRES. I HAVE HAD THE WHEELS AND TIRES REBALANCED FOUR TIMES IN THE 7,000 MILES THE NEW TIRES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE SHAKING HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. I SUSPECT THE LUG HOLES IN THE WHEELS ARE NO LONGER ROUND. *TR
