“I purchased tires for my 2008 vw Passat turbo 4 door sedan. I selected four cooper cs4 touring tires. I bought them about a month ago, september 17, 2012. Almost immediately after the installation of the cooper tires, I noticed a pulsating noise when the steering wheel is turned either left or right; the noise frequency is a function of speed. So, two days later, I brought the car back to the dealer. A mechanic checked the tires, wheels, and mounting; he could find nothing obviously wrong. So, I took the mechanic for a ride. …”
