1995 Chevrolet C10 Owner Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET C10. THE VEHICLE HAS COOPER MASTERCRAFT TIRES, SIZE P225/70R15. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROVE AS IF IT WERE OUT OF BALANCE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED A KNOT IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND THE TIRE EVENTUALLY FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO ASSIST. THE TIRE WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT THE CONTACT MUST HAVE STRUCK THE TIRE AGAINST SOMETHING. HE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HE HAS THREE OF THE SAME TIRES REMAINING ON THE VEHICLE, AND BELIEVES THE SAME FAILURE COULD RECUR. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98T004000 (TIRES:TREAD/BELT) WAS REFERENCED. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.
