Bad steering parts, could be steering gear, frame mount flex, any/all of the steering linkage, even wheel bearings, bad shocks.


Wheel alignment. If both worn on outside or inside, toe would be suspected.

Sounds like the tire is defective, if the belt has slipped.

Do a VIN check to see if your unit was reported to be in a major accident. Bent frame, front end...

What driving symptoms does it give to indicate belt slipping? Does it handle normally when good tires on it? Load range E tires? The odds of having belt issues in 3 brands on the same vehicle is almost certainly not the tires, and your dealer should have known that and found out what was really wrong.

Are you buying tires suitable for the weight of the van?
