new member with new tires

[jaxx2284]

After looking around for a week while researching tires I decided to join the club. New tires were put on today... I researched Toyo Cross Country A/T, but apparently those have been discontinued and replaced with Open Country A/t. They look nice, time will tell if I'll get the 60K miles I've read in reviews.

Sport Edition 4x4/ bought new in 2008

*ma'am!

Thanks! I like the way they look but I called the tire place today and told them my traction light (I can't remember exactly what it's called) came on today while taking a curve that I take every day and it's never came on.. I felt the tires needing to correct themselves. My steering or drive feels a lot more loose or like I'm driving on marbles! I've never felt out of control with this car.. I used to drive a liberty and felt like death every time it would rain.

Anyway they told me to come in and let them check the tires, tire pressure, etc. and see what's up. I have read nothing but mostly good review, so I'm not sure what's going on. Anyone else ever had this problem? Maybe I'll post this in a different topic for some feedback.

for anyone that was following this thread..

i finally had a chance to take my car in to the tire place and they said three tires had high air pressure and one was unbalanced. so they rebalanced all the tires and fixed the pressure. when i got home i noticed green valve stems. being me, i called to ask for my black stems back. the guy told me that my tires now have nitrogen in them and that's why they're green, but if i came in he would get me a darker set of green stems.

i didn't ask or pay for nitrogen, but i guess it's good? my only problem is, if i ever need more nitrogen i don't want to pay for it since i didn't ask for nitrogen! so i'll make sure they know that when i go pick up the new set of stems.

i'll get out on the interstate today to see if my car still feels like its driving on marbles or glass. they will put a new set of tiers on if i don't notice a difference.
