While turning at low speeds the front Firestone tires set up a vibration that passes to the steering wheel, the steering rods and joints seem to move and make noise, the dealer stated the problem was with the tread, however the consumer believes the tires are too heavy for the steering set or the steering linkage is too light for the tires.
