GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

THE FRONT TIRES HAVE PREMATURE WARE ON THE INNER EDGE OF TIRE, THE RESULT WAS TIRE SEPARATION. AFTER ONLY 16000 MILES OF USE. I HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AN IT WAS WITHIN FACTORY SPECIFICATION. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW SET OF TIRES. OLD TIRES STILL IN HAND AND HAVE PICTURES OF THE TIRES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 PONTIAC G8. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR TIRES, TIRE LINE EAGLE RSA SIZE 245-45R-18, DOT M6A9-CMDR. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES WERE LOSING AIR, THE TIRE BELT AND TREAD ALSO SEPARATED FROM THE INSIDE WALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE TIRES FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

I OWN 2007 TOYOTA MATRIX. 28,161 CURRENT MILEAGE. FOUR (4) GOOD YEAR TIRES - EAGLE P205/55R/16 COME WITH MATRIX. DEFECTIVE TIRES. OTHER 3 TIRES STILL LOOKS GOOD CONDITION BUT ONE OF THE SIDEWALL DRIED PREMATURELY AND THE TIRE APART INTO 2 PIECES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I SENT THE EMAIL TO CONTACT GOODYEAR LAST SAT 8/27/2011. FOR SAFETY REASON, I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE DIFFERENT MODEL TIRES. BUT GOODYEAR DID NOT REPLY AT ALL. I TAKE SOME PICTURES ALSO. *TR

THIS IS AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE APPARENT FAILURE OF THREE OUT OF FOUR GOODYEAR ASYMMETRIC TIRES. FIRST ISSUE WAS A BUBBLE FOUND ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LET LOOSE A THIN VERY LONG RIBBON OF RUBBER FROM THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TREAD. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE LEFT REAR INNER SIDEWALL BLEW OUT IN TWO PLACES LIKE A BURSTING BUBBLE. THESE TIRES HAVE THE SAME DATE CODE AND WERE PUT ON THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF PRIOR TO THE FIRST FAILURE. THE TIRE WITH THE DELAMINATED RUBBER RIBBON WAS REPLACED AT THE TIME AT MY COST BEFORE I REALIZED THERE WAS A PATTERN HERE. I HAVE CONTACTED GOODYEAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME OR REPLACE THAT ONE OR THE OTHER DEFECTIVE TIRES. ALL OLD TIRES ARE AVAILABLE AND IN MY POSSESSION. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR ALL THREE TIRES...SAME DOT NUMBER SAME DATE CODE... *TR

AFTER ROUTINE DRIVING I FOUND A LARGE "BUBBLE" OR BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALK OF MY GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 245 40R19 TIRE.. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING WITHIN BUBBLE OF OVER 2 INCHES LONG. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE INCLUDING A RECALL OF THESE TIRE AS THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IS A SERIOUS SITUATION. *TR

BOTH FRONT TIRES SEPARATED ON THE INSIDE EDGES OF THE TIRES. HAD NOTICED IT WEARING THIN AT AROUND 13 THOUSAND. HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED, AND IT WAS IN PERFECT SPEC. AROUND 15 THOUSAND, I NOTICED A VERY THIN SPOT AND HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AGAIN, AND THE ALIGNER TOLD ME THAT THE METAL WAS SHOWING THROUGH, AND THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO SPLIT APART. HAD THE TIRES CHANGED FOR ANOTHER BRAND ON ALL FOUR CORNERS, AND HAVE NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS SINCE AFTER 22,000 MORE MILES. STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL FRONT TIRES FOR REFERENCE OR INSPECTION, AND ALL ALIGNMENT SHEETS. BEING AN INCIDENT FROM OVER A YEAR AGO, I AM NOT 100% SURE ON THE DATES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A EMT 255/45/R20 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE SEPARATING ALONG THE SIDEWALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE TIRES WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPLACED. THE CONTACT FELT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE TIRES DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE ON THEM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 21,000. THE VIN WAS NOT ACCEPTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT.

IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS OF OWNING MY BMW 535XI, I HAD TO CHANGE MY GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 SIZE 245/40R19 RUN FLATS 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF BMW 535XI OWNERS REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS TIRE ON THE INTERNET. CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH A SIDEWALL BUBBLE POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. THEREFORE, THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 TOYOTA CORROLLA THAT CAME OUTFITTED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIREE 89S. I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. A QUICK INSPECTION OF THE TIRE DIDN'T SHOW ANY PUNCTURES ON THE MAIN TREAD BUT THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE SIDEWALL. CALLED GOODYEAR TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER OCCURANCES SO I'M SHARING MINE. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. THE TIRES HAD 13,500 MILES TOTAL AS DOES MY CAR. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 IMPALA SS ON 11/17/09 WITH 33,003 MILES ON IT. ON JULY 20, 2011 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH MY WIFE AND STEPSON ON THE I-94 FREEWAY IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI., THE LEFTSIDE REAR TIRE BLEWOUT. WE NOTICE THAT IT HAD BROKE THE INNER PLASTIC PIECE AND BENT THE MUFFLER TIP AND THERE WAS CLEARLY NO RUBBER LEFT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE ALL YOU SAW WAS WIRES. HAD TO PUT OUR SPARE TIRE ON. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE TIRE SHOP ON JULY 22, 2011 TO HAVE THAT TIRE REPLACED, SERVICE GUY SAID THERE WAS NO RUBBER LEFT ON THE INSIDE OF THE LEFT TIRE IN THE REAR, AND THE WIRES WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE AND SHOWED US THEM, WHICH WE HAD NOTICED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HE ALSO STATED THAT ON THE REAR RIGHTSIDE THE WIRES WERE SHOWING TOO. WE HAD HIM REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED THAT WE HAD BEEN THE 4TH IMPALA THEY HAD REPLACED TIRES ON IN THE PAST WEEK. WHILE ON THE LIFT WE NOTICED THAT THE BACK TIRES WERE SLIGHTLY LEANING OUT, LIKE (/) LEFT SIDE AND (\) RIGHT SIDE, I TOLD HIM THAT I WANT THE TIRES BACK AND HE GAVE THEM TO ME. WE TOOK THEM HOME AND TOOK PICKS OF THEM AND THE BACK OF OUR CAR TO SHOW HOW THE TIRES WERE STILL LEANING OUT, AND ALSO TOOK PICTURES OF WHERE THE PLASTIC HAD BEEN BROKE IN THE WHEEL WELL. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILE SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND TOLD THE SERVICE GUY WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AS OF YET ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD CAME IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS, THAT I SHOULD GET AHOLD OF GM AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE POLICE VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED BUT AS OF YET KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ALL OTHERS. HE STATED THAT HE WISHED HE COULD DO SOMETHING FOR US BUT THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. WHEN IS GM GONNA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR
