Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Two tires have an unusual bulge on the inside about 0.25 in wide, 0.125 in tall, running across from rim to rim. i believe this was the source of the incredible grinding noises. i thought the brakes were bad, so i had them rebuilt, but the only way to eliminate the noise and dragging effects was to replace the tires. *ak (dot number: st3231 tiresize: p215/70r14)
