| When vehicle exceeds 65mph, the front end vibrates, causing the front tires to wear excessively. contacted several dealerships, and cannot find the cause of the problem. *ak the consumer can also feel the shake in the steering wheel. consumer says if she drives over 68 mph, the shaking seems to improve somewhat. this situation has worn out the tires on this vehicle and has had a numerous amount of alignments, balancing of tires-forced alignment. consumer has purchased four new tires, the vehicle shakes when you slow down to a stop or when one drives about 20 mph, the entire frame shakes. *scc | |||

| I have firestone supreme radial tires on my 94 cutless sierra. about a month ago one went flat. i noticed tread separtion at the site of the flat but discounted it. yesterday while driving on a smooth interstate my other front tire same brand had the entire tread separate. the tire remained inflated as i pulled off the road. my two rear tires are the same model and i am conserned about the safety of these tires. i had checked the pressure in all 4 tires less than a week ago and they were to manufatoror specs. | |||
