Consumer Description

LEFT FRONT TIRE ON THE INSIDE AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE ON THE OUTSIDE.....THE BELTS ARE BROKE ON BOTH TIRES AND ARE COMING THROUGH THE TREAD. WIRE IS STICKING OUT OF TIRES AND IS CAUSING THE FRONT END OF VECHICLE TO WOBBLE. THE TIRES ARE TOO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON. I HAVE THE EXACT TIRE THAT IS BEING RECALLED, THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MADE IN THE DECATUR ILLINOIS PLANT, MY TIRES ARE NOT BEING REPLACED. I HAVE A 18 MONTH OLD BABY AND EVERY TIME THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I CONSTANTLY WONDER IF MY TIRES WILL BURST, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR A DEATH. I BELIEVE THAT MY TIRES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL OR AT LEAST BE REPLACED*AK. (DOT NUMBER: W2HL426 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)
