SINCE DEC. 5 2003 I HAVE HAD ALL 4 TIRES ON MY CAVALIER REPLACED BECAUSE THE STEEL BELTS BROKE IN THE GOODYEAR CONQUEST TIRE SIZE P195/70R14 WITH LESS THAN 25475 MILES ON THE TIRES.THESE TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF THE MARKET UNTIL GOOD REPLACES THEM WITH A BETTER BUILT TIRE.I BELIEVE THE GOODYEAR CONQUEST TIRE IS A VERY DANGEROUS TIRE AND COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND COULD HAVE ALLREADY CAUSED SOME.THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED WHEN MY TIRES WERE REPLACED , THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE GOODYEAR CONQUEST TIRE, WHICH IS LIKE REPLACING DEADLY TIRES WITH DEADLY TIRE.TODAY I HAD THE LAST TWO REPLACED BECAUSE OF BROKEN BELTS.*AK
