Consumer Description

I PURCHASED 4 NEW 70,000 MILE GENERAL ALTIMAX RT TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2013 FROM WALMART #3581. THE TIRES NOW HAVE EXACTLY 10,774 MILES ON THEM. THEY ARE MAKING LOUD THUMPING NOISES THAT I DESCRIBE AS A HELICOPTER SOUND. THE SOUND VARIES DEPENDING ON VEHICLE SPEED, BUT IT SEEMS MOST NOTICEABLE AROUND 35-50 MILES PER HOUR. STEERING IS DIFFICULT, AND THE CAR FEELS UNSTABLE. 70K TIRES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 10,774 MILES ON PASSENGER CAR. THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS.
