I OWN A 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA: IN JANUARY ,2009 MY SON WAS DRIVING BACK FROM LUBBOCK TEXAS TO PORTALES NM. THIS IS 110 MILES. MY TIRE A GOODYEAR RS-A 245/45 R18 TIRE WENT FLAT MY SON GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHANGED IT IN PITCH DARK. NOT TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE TIRE IN DEPTH. HE DROVE HOME TO FIND IN THE LATER PART OF HIS TRIP HE DID NOT HAVE ANY BREAKS. HE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE'S BEADING CAME COMPLETELY OUT. IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD 45 WIRES HANGING OUT OF THE TIRE. THESE WIRES WERE IN AND OUT OF THE TIRE AND I COULD LITERALLY PICK IT UP BY THE WIRES. THE WIRES (BEADING) WRAPPED AROUND MY BREAK LINES AND CUT THEM COMPLETELY IN HALF, IN ADDITION PULLING THE STEAL MOUNT FOR THE BREAK LINE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CARS MOUNT. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MY SON, PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS SAME SITUATION HAPPENED TO ME THREE WEEKS PRIOR. THIS TIME THE TIRE CAME APART FROM THE INSIDE WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE IT, BUT THE BEADING DID NOT COME OUT. WHEN MY SON'S SITUATION HAPPENED, IT TOOK (MY TIRE, $266.00), (WHEEL $800.00) (BREAK LINES $???.00) DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL MOUNT AND VESSEL $ ???.00 OF MY CAR'.ALL OUT! THIS TIRE IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. THERE ARE SO MANY INCIDENCES WITH THIS PARTICULAR TIRE AND IT IS EXTREMELY DEADLY! I AM PLEADING WITH NHTSA TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THIS TIRE AND HAVE A FULL RECALL ON IT. ONE PERSON'S LIFE IS NOT WORTH THIS DANGEROUS TIRE! *TR

AT A LITTLE OVER 33,000 MILES I WAS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH LOSING AIR IN MY TIRES ON MY 2007 MITSUBISHI SPYDER ECLIPSE. THE TIRES I HAVE ARE P235 45R18 - GOODYEAR EAGLE. ONE MORNING MY TIRES WOULD NOT EVEN KEEP ENOUGH AIR IN THEM TO GET TO WORK. I STOPPED AT THE MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THEM. I ASKED ABOUT A WARRANTY AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NONE. I REPLACED THE TIRES BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AT THE COST OF A LITTLE OVER $600. NOW I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH A 3RD TIRE DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING. THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE TIRES AND THIS IS CAUSING THE LOSS OF AIR. *TR
