“While driving on the high way at 63 MPH my car started shaking to the point it caused me to become dizzy and nauseous. My mechanic found nothing wrong with the tie rod's etc. The tires were rounded and evenly worn. We rotated the tires and car still shook like crazy but felt like it was in the back. Brought car to tire shop had tires balanced they said 2 where way off. Went on the highway again and at 65 the vehicle still had a shake to it.”
NHTSA complaint #10578806, filed 2014-04, 38,300 miles“235/55R 18 I took my car for a tire rotation at a tire shop.

They switch the tire to the rear and there I noticed that was a different tire, not the new tire I have provided them. I asked the guys where my tire was and why they had switched it with an old-use worn tire. They denied doing so and refused to give me back my tire. …”
