“A Engine Belt slipping is more of a “screeeching” noise and usually only is noticeable during starting and acceleration, not consistent speed.”
Of course, you are correct, but I was referring to a belt in the tire, not an engine drive belt.
I would have thought that the reference to “having the tires checked by a reputable tire dealer” would have been a clue to the type of belt to which I was referring, but…I guess not.
Shortly, I will correct the wording of my earlier post, so that it is less confusing.
