VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, AND WELL MAINTAINED. ORIGINAL TIRES WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE TREADWEAR. ON CLEAR DRY WELL MAINTAINED TOLL ROAD WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH, THE FRONT LEFT TIRE SIDEWALL COMPLETELY BLEW OUT. MY WIFE (THE DRIVER) WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF SHE HAD NOT KEPT HER HEAD AND NOT SLAMMED ON BRAKES OR PANICKED AND OVERSTEERED. WE FELT IT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SET OF TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE REMAINING TIRE'S TREADWARE SEEMED FINE. WE SAVED THE PIECES OF THE TIRE THAT BLEW, TOOK DIGITAL PICTURES, AND VIDEO. I QUESTION SAFETY OF THE TIRE AND LARGE MINI-VAN MATCHUP. HOPEFULLY, SHOULD THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, THEY TOO ARE FORTUNATE, AS WAS MY WIFE. *AK (TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R15 )

RIGHT FRONT TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT ON SIDEWALL IN TWO PLACES WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH WITH DRIVER AND ONE PASSENGER IN A 1999, PONTIAC, SUNFIRE, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, TIRE SIZE 195/70R14, DOT# M6RWHKDR498. NO INJURY OR DAMGES WAS REPORTED, AND GOODYEAR WAS CONTACTED. TIRE IS AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS . *AK

ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AFTER I OWNED MY VEHICLE, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS SHOWING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE THE CAR ALIGNED. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND THE CAR ALIGNED. THESE TIRES HAVE A LOT OF TREAD EVEN THO THEY KEEPING WEARING ON THE EDGES. I HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. IN DECEMBER 2000 I WENT TO THE GOODYEAR PEOPLE AND THEY SAID ONE TIRE HAD THREE BUBBLES ON IT SO I PUT THE SPARE ON. THEN HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT ALL TIRES HAD BUBBLES AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY WANT ME TO BUY THE SAME TIRE FOR $113. EACH AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A 25% DISCOUNT, WELL I WOULDN'T BUY THAT TIRE AT ANY PRICE. THE MASSEY DEALER SAYS IT IS UP TO GOODYEAR. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THESE TIRES ON IT. I FEEL THAT IF A TIRE ONLY LASTS 28000 MILES IT SHOULD NOT BE PUT ON A NEW VEHICLE AND CERTAINLY NOT SOLD AT $113. A TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: M6VF HKDR TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)
