Consumer Description

Bought truck brand new in 2019. Around 16-17,000 miles, I had to replace both front tires, the steel belt had shifted inside the tire causing a bulge and making the vehicle vibrate severly while transporting 3 horses (Approximate trailer w/ horse weight = 14000lbs). I brought back to the dealership, replaced with the same brand as I was unaware of these issues. I now have 36,000 total miles on my truck and about 19,000 miles on this new set and the issue just occurred again. There is something wrong with this brad of tire that these belts continue to shift inside the tire and will eventually cause larger issues. When the event occurs, everything inside the vehicle begins to vibrate and no question impacts the suspension components.
