WHAT IS A "COUNTER BALANCED TIRE?" NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE MY ORIGINAL TIRES. IT TOOK THEM 22,000 MILES TO FIGURE OUT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE.

I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE NEAR ORLANDO AT 70MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE SHAKING BECAME MORE VIOLENT. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THERE WAS A TERRIFIC BANG, THE SOUND OF TEARING METAL AND THE CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND PULL ON TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I SAW THAT THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE HAD LOST ITS TREAD. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED $1500+ *AKDOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. IT COST ME $250 DEDUCTIBLE AND I ALSO HAD TO BUY A NEW SET OF TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE. I WENT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER WITH THE DAMAGED TIRE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD MORE THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM. AM I ENTITLED TO RECOVER THE DEDUCTIBLE I PAID FROM FIRESTONE???*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R15 )

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH TRANSFER CASE LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE REAR END TO LOCK UP. VEHICLE SLID OUT OF CONTROL, WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH, AND HIT A FENCE. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE HAS A VERY PRONOUNCED VIBRATION/SHAKING AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THIS IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO QUESTION THE ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN TRACTION/ADHESION IN WET/SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK
