LETTER FROM SENATOR GRASSLEY ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING HIS RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH HIS 2011 FORD FOCUS AND HIS CONCERN THAT THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE BY DESIGN; PLEASE REPLY TO THE ATTENTION OF SHERRY KUNTZ. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AT 42,000 MILES THE LEFT TIRE BEGAN WOBBLING. IT WAS DISCOVERED, THE TIRE WAS OUT OF ROUND. THE MECHANIC ROTATED THE TIRES AND BALANCED THEM. THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE BEYOND 43,000 AND BOTH FRONT TIRES BEGAN WOBBLING IN THE SAME FASHION, BUT WORSE. THE MECHANIC NOTED THE TIRES WERE BURSTING RADIAL STEEL REINFORCING WIRES AND GOING OUT OF ROUND, ALTHOUGH THE TIRES HAD A LOT OF TREAD LEFT. THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE HANKOOK TIRES, WITH MICHELIN TIRES.
