The tire size is 265/70r 17. Dot 3eef manf. Date of 10 08, i believe. They will not run smooth at highway speeds from 50 mph to 65-70 mph with some vibration at lower speeds,after extensive balancing including road force balance, they still shake the vehicle very bad at highway speeds ,making driving awful,the vehicle has been checked out at action direct's service center,and at sir walter chevrolet in raleigh, nc,the problem was isolated to the tires. Auction direct will not replace them. Thanks for your help,james arthur jones |
