| Description of the problem | The tires on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 sport model apparently cannot be balanced by the dodge dealers i have visited in the orlando area. The tires are goodyear p275/60r20. The truck vibrates and the steering wheel shakes at interstate speeds (65-75 mph). Not only is this terribly annoying, but i believe it may be a dangerous defect. The truck only has 14k miles.*ak |
