Description of the problem	Goodyear fortera tire issue - i have a set of 265-70-17 goodyear fortera silentarmor tires on a 2002 dodge ram quad cab 1500 4x4. Bad vibration at highway speeds. I think that their is a design problem with these tires. I have spent several days at various tire dealers and have gone through 2 1/2 sets of tires in an attempt to correct the problem. The tires require an excessive amount of weight to balance. Even with all that weight the vibration is still present. There must be a design flaw or poor quality control during manufacture. I put a about 3000 miles on first set of tires and i now have about 500 miles on the current set. I hope this problem does not turn into a safety issue and the tires end up coming apart on the highway. I see only good reviews for the fortera silentarmor on the fortera website so i doubt that goodyear is posting any negative press... I have also made an attempt to post my comments on the goodyear website to make them aware of the issue. *nm
