TIRES

AT ABOUT 50 TO 55 MPH, THE LEAST BIT OF ROAD ROUGHNESS STARTS THE TIRES HOPPING AND SENDING THE REAR OF THE TRUCK SIDEWAYS. THE TIRES DID NOT COME ON THE TRUCK, THEY WERE PURCHASED AS REPLACEMENTS FOR THE ORIGINAL TIRES WHICH POSED NO PROBLEMS. IT HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES. I BOUGHT THE TIRES USED WITH ABOUT 5000 MILES ON THEM. I WOULD ASSUME THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND REPLACED THEM, WHICH I WILL HAVE TO DO TO.*AK (TIRESIZE: 265 75)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265 75 )

TIRES

WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 1988, THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE FIRESTONES. AT ABOUT 44,000 MILES, I HAD TO REPLACE THEM DUE TO THE PEELING THAT WAS TAKING PLACE. IT HAD PEELED ENOUGH TO EXPOSE A LAYER OF WHITE UNDERNEATH. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE SPARE TIRE, WHICH I USED ONLY ONCE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE PROBLEMS WENT BACK TO 1991, I CONTEST THAT, IT GOES BACK TO 1988. ENCLOSING, I HAD BOUGHT GOODYEARS TO REPLACE THEM, AND THEY LASTED ME 56,000 MILES. FORTUNATE, I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT DUE TO TIRE FAILURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT22575R16 )
