Passenger side tire shakes till i reach 45mph it stops
Large bulge on tread side of tire - no blowout. probably steel belt separation. felt like unbalanced tire in rear. image attached. did not hit any potholes. was the second tire of another complaint of a similar tire filed 8/6/2016.
After driving two hours my wife arrived at her destination and found one tire nearly flat. the tire was fine, the leak was actually through a pinhole leak in the steel rim of the wheel. no one was hurt but a serious accident could have occurred. we believe this wheel had a manufacturer's defect from day one, but the dealer did not replace the wheel because he said it was beyond the 3-year 36000 mile warranty. *jb
