Consumer Description

WE NOTICED SOME WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHILE DRIVING DURING THE WEEK, BUT ATTRIBUTED THAT TO A PREVIOUSLY REPLACED REAR BUMPER AND NEED FOR REALLIGNMENT DUE TO THAT ACCIDENT. WHEN WE STOPPED FOR GAS ON 6/30/01 WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE WAS VERY LOW. WE FILLED IT WITH AIR AND DROVE LESS THAN A MILE. AT THAT POINT, THE TIRE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FLAT AND WE CALLED AAA FOR SERVICE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER REMOVED THE FRONT TIRE AND DISCOVERED ONE 6" TEAR AND ONE 2-3" TEAR . THE TEARS WERE DEEP ENOUGH TO REVEAL THE STEEL BELTS. HE SAID THAT THE TIRE APPEARED TO BE DEFFECTIVE, AND THAT THE DAMAGE WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AS THE RESULT OF DRIVING OVER SOMETHING.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)
