GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES Complaints

TOOK 2010 IMPALA LTZ TO HAVE OIL CHANGED AND TIRES ROTATED. THEY FOUND THE FRONT TIRES TO BE WORN BADLY ON THE INSIDE OF EACH TIRE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD MUCH WORSE WEAR WITH THE STEEL CORDS VISIBLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 19,000. IN AN ONLINE SEARCH, WE FOUND THAT THE CAR HAD WORK DONE ON THE STEERING BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. IT STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH A GROWLING SOUND IN THE STEERING AT TIMES. COULD THAT EFFECT TIRE WEAR? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BMW 550XI EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 245/40/19 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN HE NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE REPLACEMENT TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH OVER A ROAD BUMP. UPON EXAMINING THE TIRE, THE CONTACT NOTICED ANOTHER BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TIRE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 726. UPDATED 07-06/11 *BF

2011 BMW 550I XDRIVE WITH M-SPORT PACKAGE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 245/40R19 98V TIRES. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE DEVELOPED 3 MINOR BUBBLES ON SIDEWALL AND THE LEFT FRONT DEVELOPED ONE MAJOR BUBBLE AND 2 SMALL BUBBLES ON SIDEWALL WITHIN 3,500 MILES AND BOTH TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROADS FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH OTHER TIRES, BUT WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR, I HAVE HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

GOOD YEAR RUN FLAT TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE. APPARENTLY BMW AND GOODYEAR HAVE SOME KIND OF DEAL. I BOUGHT A 2011 BMW 535I WITH THE SPORT PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES THE 19" GOODYEARS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS LEAKED AND GET BUBBLES. ONE DAY IF NOT ALREADY PEOPLE WILL DIE CAUSE OF THIS TIRE. AGAIN GOODYEARS KILLING PEOPLE. THIS NEEDS TO STOP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED IN A 6 MONTH OLD VEHICLE WITH 5500 MILES, A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE CAME FROM RT FRONT WHEEL AREA. ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SLOWED DOWN TO PULL OVER AND NOISE STOPPED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. MOMENTS LATER TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIT UP. PULLED OVER AND SAW TIRE DEFLATED. CHANGED TIRE. DAMAGED TIRE DID NOT HAVE ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE OR PUNCTURES. AIR REMAINED IN TIRE BUT WAS REDUCED. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR INSPECTIONS AND THEY STATED THAT THE CORDS INSIDE THE TIRE WERE "SHREDDED/TORN". CONTACTING GOODYEAR TIRE NOW FOR INSPECTION AND RESOLUTION BUT I AM CONTENDING IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE TIRE ITSELF AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF IT. POSSIBLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. UNKNOWN IF OTHER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE UNTIL A NEW TIRE IS PUT ON TOMORROW. *TR
