MY QUESTION IS ABOUT SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND ANY PERSON WITH ME IN REGARDS TO THESE TIRES, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE NOT FAILED AS SOME HAVE HOLDING TIRE PRESSURE AND HAVING TO SWITCH THEM MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIRE I HAVE OWNED TO AVOID THUMPING AND UNEVEN TIRE WEAR . IT COMES BACK TO THIS , UNCERTAIN ABOUT SAFETY AND WHAT POSSIBLY COULD HAPPEN HAS PROMPTED THIS QUERY. THE LATEST REPORT FROM NHTSA IS TO REPLACE THEM AND WAIT FOR A DECISION , I DON'T HAVE THE MONEYTO DO THIS , YOUR ANSWER WILL BE APPRECIATED .
