Description of the problem | The tire w/traction rating of "b" is inadequate for the weight of the truck. In wet conditions the truck will skid (when approaching a stop sign)when braking. I have contacted nissan (claim no. 2889591) and was told that it is neither general 's or nissan's responsibilty. I disagreed with nissan and informed them that they are responsible for selecting this tire for the truck.( dot number: tire size: p235 70r15 ) |
