The tires do not fully contact the ground,they are rounded. Three fifths of the tire is on the ground. Once the road is wet there is a lack of stopping power. General, ameritrak ats, lt215/85r16, load range e, dot a30p1unb, 115/112s. *ak the tires failed to grip the road when attempting to make quick or sudden stops, the ABS would kick in but the stopping distance would increased with the lack of traction. Also, the center of the tire was worn 3/32 and the outer was 1/5 of each side of the tire was not in contact with the ground.
Consumer ordered a four wheel drive from the manufacturer, and the vehicle was delivered with 4 ply highway tires on it. These tires were not designed to handle 4 wheel operation. Manufacturer was not willing to change anything. They stated take it or leave it.
Prior to purchase of the vehicle a vibration and bouncing was noted on the test drive, the dealer assured me that the problem would be corrected and two days later they replaced the tires. This did not eliminate all of the bouncing, the dealer again serviced the vehicle, the salesman and the service manager both rode with me in the vehicle and agreed that there was a problem and that it would be corrected even if all of the suspension components, wheels and tires had to be replaced. One day later I was told that the bouncing was characteristic of the vehicle and that there was nothing they could do about it, no other solution was offered. I do not feel the vehicle is performing correctly and is not safe.
While driving on I-75 at 70 MPH rear passenger tire blew out. Stopped the vehicle and the tire blew out from the side, all the way around the tire.
