Consumer Description
LAST JULY ON A HOT, 87 DEGREE AFTERNOON, MY FRONT LEFT TIRE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT WAS FLAT BY THE TIME I STOPPED SO I CHANGED IT. I PURCHASED TWO NEW COOPER TIRES TO REPLACE THE FRONTS. I HAVE ROTATED SNOW TIRES ON THE REAR AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE REMAINING FIRESTONE ORIGINAL TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2UU IPO TIRESIZE: P225/70R15)
