1995 Dodge Dakota Tires Problems

“Tires would slide slightly sometimes when I attempted to make a stop even at low speeds especially after a little rain. I asked the dealer (firestone) about this and they looked at the tires but told me that it probably was oil on the road. This happened several times at the same spot until I would only go 15 to 20 MPH in that area on my way to work just in case the light changed and I would have to stop. I became uneasy whenever I had to stop. I complained to my husband also and even he said it was probably oil on the street. …”
