| 1996 | TIRES:SIDEWALL | THE PROBLEM I HAVE EXPERIENCED IS A CONDITION WHERE THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES FORMS A BULGE, CAUSING THE TIRE TO BECOME UNBALANCED AND IN DANGER OF BURSTING. FROM SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL TIRE DEALERS, IT SEEMS THAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS THE ULTRA-LOW PROFILE DESIGN OF THE TIRES WHICH MAKES THEM UNUSUALLY VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE FROM NORMAL ROAD HAZARDS. I HAVE HAD FOUR TIRES DEVELOP THIS CONDITION ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. SINCE I AM EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS ABOUT AVOIDING ROAD HAZARDS, AND PUT SNOW TIRES ON THE CAR IN THE WINTER, IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A COINCIDENCE. FURTERMORE, IT IS QUITE EVIDENT THAT MANY OTHER VOLVE 850 OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME BAD FORTUNE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205-45/Z17 ) |
