Consumer Description

DEXTERO DHT2 TIRE P245/70R16 106T THIS TIRE I PURCHASED AT WALMART MARCH 2013. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SLIDING NOT GRIPPING THE PAVEMENT ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE BULGE OUT. I HAVE CALLED WALMART THEY SAID THEY PROBABLY NEED BALANCED OR ROTATED SO THEY DID THIS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I CALLED THEM THEY SAID THEY NEED THEIR TIRE SPECIALIST TO LOOK IT OVER. ALSO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS TIRE. I COULD NOT EVEN FIND THIS TIRE ON THE RECALL LIST I ASSUME ITS FROM CHINA. THE TIRE SPECIALIST TOOK MEASURMENTS OF TIRE AND HAD TO TALK WITH ANOTHER SPECIALIST ABOUT WHAT TO DO IF ANYTHING THEY SAID. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES AND WANTED TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO FROM HERE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
