[net.auto] Tires that shimmy

I have a set of 721's and about a year ago I noticed a shimmy. It
turned out to be a seperation in belts caused by a nail. Your
problem might also be a seperation of the radial belts, that is the
belts which run perpendicular to the threads. Unfortunately, Firestone
claimed this to be a road hazard. I must be mistaken when I thought
that steel belts were intended to prevent this from happening.
