2007 Jeep Commander. In town or highway driving I will get a bumpy ride as if all 4 tires are going flat. I stop the car along the hywy or side of the road then begin driving and the bumpiness is gone. Or if I continue driving. I get this burning smell and pull over then begin to drive and the smell is gone. ---

Never run your hand across the tread of the tire if you can’t see the entire tread. Worn tires can expose steel belts which turn into hundreds of small needles. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/f/f1c0bbdcee6d109924389255b14f089f058a5fb3.jpeg) Rub you fingers/hand across those, and your fingers/hand will get all cut up. And you’ll only do it once. Tester
