I BOUGHT A SET OF 119679 FIREHAWK INDY 500 P225/70R15 TLRWLPS TIRES FROM A FIRESTONE DEALER IN WARNER ROBINS GEORGIA. THE 1ST TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM FOR BOUNCING AND THEY REPLACED 1 TIRE SAYING IT WAS CAKING,I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A COUPLE OF THE TIRES STILL BOUNCING LIKE AN OUT OF BALANCE TIRE. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO HAVE THEM CHECKED AGAIN SOON. IT JUST SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE THAT I GET 4 TIRES AND AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH WHAT SEEMS LIKE ALL FOUR TIRES. IS THERE A PROCESS THAT CHECKS TIRES FOR DEFECTS ? MAKES ONE WONDER WHY FIRESTONE IS HAVING ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THERE TIRES. THANKS FOR LISTENING. WILLIAM B.COLEMAN. *NM
