Tire and Brake Problems
I just bought an '05 Limited back in June and I'm having problems with my Bridgestone tires and my brakes. My brakes are grinding and my rear tires get in the grooves of the road, especially on the frwy, and my rear end fishtails. I took it back to the dealer, but they said they don't have a replacement for the brqkes yet and as far as the tires go, they won't change them out because they're not visually defective. Has anyone else experienced these same problems?

You need to provide more details: are the rotors scored or are the rears a different color than the fronts? Does the grinding noise come only when the brakes are applied? Under braking does the vehicle pull to one side? Fishtailing on wet surface only?

Check your tire pressure. If it is too high you will have handleing problems like you describe.
