| 1 tire has a radial pull, and 1 tire causes vibrations in the steering. the tires have been balanced and rotated. the vibrations go away when the bad tires are rotated to the rear. i have noticed numerous other people are having the same problems with these tires. i did not find any recall on them and the manufacturer will not replace or proate the tires since they are worn past 2/32. is this true, is there any recourse with the tire company?*ak (dot number: y7mt tiresize: p245/70r16) | |||
