CURRENTLY I HAVE THE GENERAL AMERITRAC TIRES ON MY VEHICLE ( 245 70R17), I AM WRITING BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIRES THAT IT ON MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO. I HAVE NOTICED VIBRATIONS AT SPEEDS OVER 80 MPH (ON A RARE RESPONSE TO A FIRE CALL IN PERSONAL VEHICLE). ALSO THE TIRES HAVE NOT HELD UP AT ALL I NOTICED UNEVEN TREAD WEAR AT 10,000 MILES AND WITH ROTATION AND BALANCING IT SEEMS TO BE WORSENING, THE TIRE TREAD CURRENTLY (31,000 MILES) IS WITHERING TO THE POINT IT IS UNSAFE AND SEEMS TO WANT TO HYDROPLANE VERY EASILY ( DONE THIS NEW ALSO). I HAVE OTHERS WITH THE AMERITRACS AND SOME HAVE WORN BETTER BUT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME HYDROPLANE CHARACTERISTICS. I AM HAVING THESE REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND ASAP. *NM

ALL CAR MAKERS OF LIGHT TRUCKS INCLUDING THE 1500 SERIES (1/2 TON) SHOULD BE INSTALLING LT RATED TIRES OF AT LEAST 8 PLY RATINGS SINCE THE TRUCKS ARE BEING SOLD FOR AND USED TO HAUL TRAILERS AND HEAVY LOADS. IN PAST EXPERIENCE, I HAVE HAD TIRE FAILURES FROM THE PASSENGER CAR TIRES THAT CAME ON UNITS THAT WERE A RESULT OF BEING TOO SOFT ON THE SIDEWALL FOR SUPPORT OF CORNERING AND WEIGHT SHIFTING. *NM
