Goodyear 205 50R/17 Eagle rs/a tires from factory are poor quality and had to be replaced at 22,000 miles. Prior to replacement, balancing problems were present. Replaced tires with other than Goodyear; discovered that factory rims were not balanced! disappointed in Chrysler's qc.

Tires are Firestone Eagle P205/55/16. I have had trouble with a front shimmy since I purchased the vehicle. I have had it looked at and had re-balancing and wheel alignment to no avail. The reason I suspect the tires is that I had some Firestone tires in the past do exactly what I am expereincing.I purchased the car used with 15000 miles on it.the original owner was expereincingthe same shimmy. The car at slower speeds begins to rock from side to side.I was told the last time that I had it looked at, that there was something wrong with the tires.

Three of the tires have developed bubbles on the side wall. The dealership indicated that the bubbles were caused by the vehicle impacting pot holes. The tread depth on the front tires are 632, the rear tires 832.
