“This is about the safety issues with a set of goodyear eagles ls-2 tires. With only 1300 miles on the vehicle, I have already slid three or four different times, including sliding into the median twice. I have no confidence in these tires to stay on the road or when pulling out or going around a curve. These tires should not be on the road.”
