| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Oem tire design and size creates dangerous handling performance on snow covered/icey roads. vehicle performance suffers dramactically due to tire design and size given vehicle's weight. lack of contact traction severly effects braking and steering control even at much less than reasonably safe speed. question manufacturer's choice of tire design and size selection as a safety concern in winter driving conditions especially when vehicle is promoted as a 4-wheel drive suv capable of performing "better than average" in adverse weather. this is not only misleading; it is a dangerous real-world combination of poorly engineered performance.( dot number: tire size: p235/60-16 ) |
