| Vehicle is extremely sensitive to tire steer. two of the original equipment tires (bridgestone) were replaced at 3000 miles, but the problem recurred. the entire set of tires were replaced with bf goodrich tires, but the same problem recurred. rotating the tires becomes problematic because the wrong switch exacerbartes the problem. the resulting pull indiactes the need for a wheel alignment when that is not the problem, or obscures the need at other times. the need to fight the wheel causes driver fatigue and could result in loss of control.*ak | |||

| Right rear tire went flat. while requesting repair, dealer indicated steel belts were beginning to protrude through carcass. upon visual inspection of the undamaged left rear tire, observed the same phenomenon. all tires had only an estimated 5 - 10 thousand miles tread remaining. these tires were rotated in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation and maintained at 32 psi pressure. car is in excellent mechanical condition with no front end damage nor alignment anomalies. as a result of the defects noted on both rear tires chose to replace all four tires.( dot number: tire size: p205/65r15 ) | |||
