Consumer Description

REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES BECAUSE OF VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WE HAD THESE TIRES BALANCED AND CHECKED OVER 8 TIMES AT NUMEROUS DEALERS, BUT BECAUSE OF FORD RECALL, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I REMOVED THE TIRES FROM MY VEHICLE AT 14,000 MILES DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VIBRATION. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE FIRESTONE DEALER WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT HAD THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL IN EFFECT. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED FROM THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE HAD THEM REMOVED.*AK (TIRESIZE: 225R75/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 225R75/15 )
