TIRES
ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2000, I PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK FROM KEN DIXON OF WALDORF, MD. AFTER A DAY OR SO OF DRIVING, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SHIMMERED. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER IT HAD LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT GMC DOES NOT ALLOW REBALANCING OF TIRES UNTIL 500 MILES HAS BEEN REACHED AND WAS DIRECTED TO FIRESTONE. FIRESTONE BALANCED THE TIRES, HOWEVER THE SHIMMERING STILL OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: NONE TIRESIZE: LT2457516)
