“The tires on our vehicle are failing. They are prospector brand tires, size 225 70 16; DOT bf 5cf9cc 4404 (3 tires) and DOT bf 5cf9cc 3604 (1 tire). In the 3 years we have owned these tires we have always had difficulty keeping them balanced. The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them, and have significant tread life remaining. Over the years we have had to rebalance them frequently (about 7 times, most recently less than 1000 miles ago). …”
