| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After regular tire rotation at 28,000 miles, the car started to pull to the right (the side where the defective tires were on), the steering was jerky and an audible thrumming could be heard. it was noticeable as slow as 10 mph and grew increasingly worse as the vehicle sped up. when we had the vehicle inspected at three different locations, they all concluded that tire separation was the cause and was the possible cause of the car being out of alignment. we corrected the alignment and purchased four new tires (yokohama) and the problems are gone.( dot number: w2b0 tire size: 215/50r16 ) |
