FRONT TIRES PUT ON BY DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT IT 03/03/2000 ON 06/13/2000 RIGHT FRONT TIRE BEGAN TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND SHAKE THE ENTIRE TRUCK. TIRE STORE STATED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO POSSIBLE BELT SEPERATION WITH-IN THE TIRE. I DID NOT REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME BRAND TIRES. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE REAR TIRES YET. FRONT ALIGNMENT WAS CHECK AND DETERMINDED NOT TO BE A FACTOR IN THE TIRE FAILURE.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT-225-16 )
