| Within less than 500 miles 3 of the cooper lifeliner ste touring edition tires 225/60r16 went bad. all these tires had the majority of their tread remai ning. the first tire was replaced because it was causing a thump and shimmy. the second tire was similar. the last tire lost the tread at 60 miles an hour and caused the car to go sideways and out of control. the tires came with the car about two years ago. the car, a lincoln town car, had about 38000 miles but these tires did not come standard with the vehicle, so it is suspected that they were new. the car is not driven much and there may be about 20,000 driving miles on the tire. there have been no accidents or incidents involving the vehicle since i have owned it. | |||
