Consumer Description

MY TIRES ARE CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO THUMP THUMP THUMP ALL THE TIME. THEY HAVE CRACKS AROUND THE TREAD AREA. THE ONE TIRE (I WAS TOLD BY EXPERT TIRE HAS THE STEEL BELT SHOWING. THE TIRES HAD BEEN ROTATED 2 MONTHS EARLIER AND THAT TIRE HAD BEEN PUT IN THE BACK WHERE I COULDN'T SEE IT. BY SHERWOOD. BOTH PLACES SAY THAT THE THUMPING NOICE IS DUE TO FRONT WHEEL AILGMENT NEEDED. PLUS THAT IS THE REASON WHY THEY SAY THE ONE TIRE IS BAD. I FEEL THAT BOTH THESE PROBLEMS ARE BAD ONES AND I NEED TO TELL YOU ALL. THANKS PAMELA S PWHEN I BRAKE (NOT EVERYTIME, BUT A LOT) IT SEEMS THAT THEY DO NOT CATCH. I PUT ON THE BRAKES AND I CAN FELL IT DRAGING. IT CAUSES THE TRUCK TO PULL BUT NOT ENOUGHT TO CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL. IT DOES HOWEVER CAUSES THE TRUCK TO GO FARTHER OUT IN THE STREET AFTER THE STOP LIGHT OR SIGN.THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TO 15 TIMES.( DOT NUMBER: W2HL TIRE SIZE: 235-75R15 )
