| Description of the problem | Husbands truck began wobbling noticeably while driving. Checked tires and came to the conclusion that 3 tires had bubbles in the sidewalls, and of the 3 tires 1 had a bubble the size and shape of a football in the middle of tread, i believe they were goodyear tires 255/65/17. Also, the wire inside of the tire could be seen on another part of the tread, which there wasn't much of. 27,000 miles on vehicle, bought used less than 1mo ago. Put spare tire on the worst one, took back to dealership and ford replaced all 4 tires since the other one was different make and wrong size. Could have been serious accident involving tires if traveled 1,000 miles with family when attended grandmothers funeral. |
