Description of the problem | Was operating my 1998 lincoln navigator with listed tires for several hours on 08/01/2000 when i felt a sudden constant vibration in tires or suspension. After looking at tires did not initially see anything wrong with them but later assumed it was possibly the tread seperating and giving my vehicle a rough ride. I slowed my speed and drove vehicle home very slowly and next day to desert lincoln mercury in las vegas. Dealer stated the tire was damaged and needed replacement, total cost of $124. 76. I believe this tire could be part of national recall and should be covered.( dot number: e4025825 tire size: p255/75r17 ) |
