GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES Complaints

TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALL CAUSED BY ROUTING DRIVING. I'VE REPLACED TWO TIRES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS ON A NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES. (BMW 550I X-DRIVE). *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2011 MODEL BMW 535IX IN MARCH 2011, AND IT CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS/2 ROF TIRES. THE FRONT TIRE STARTED TO DEVELOP A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL AND LOSE AIR PRESSURE. A FEW DAYS LATER A CRACK WAS FOUND ON THE REAR TIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 6,000 MILES WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE WORSE THING YET IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE TIRES ARE UNDER ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY, ALL TIRES THAT COME WITH THIS CAR ARE IN NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH MEANS CONSUMER HAS NO WAY TO GET THE SAME OEM TIRE. THIS TIRE/WHEEL SET SHALL BE RECALLED BY BMW AS IT APPEARS TO BE DESIGN FLAW ON BMW'S SIDE ACCORDING NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND BMW FORUMS. THE SAME TIRE IS USED BY MANY OTHER DIFFERENT CAR MAKERS AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR

HAVE A 2011 BMW 535XI WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT. BUMPED A SMALL POT HOLE AND MY FRONT GOODYEAR 245/40/19 EAGLE LS2 RUN FLAT SIDEWALL BUSTED UP AND BALLOONED. FOR THE VERY HIGH COST THESE TIRES ARE MADE LIKE CRAP...THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS VERY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LISTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. PLEASE RECALL TO SAVE THE CONSUMERS THE COSTLY FACTOR OF CONSTANT REPLACEMENTS AND OUR OVERALL SAFETY.

THIS IS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH A SET OF GOODYEAR EAGLES LS-2 TIRES. WITH ONLY 1300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALREADY SLID THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, INCLUDING SLIDING INTO THE MEDIAN TWICE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THESE TIRES TO STAY ON THE ROAD OR WHEN PULLING OUT OR GOING AROUND A CURVE. THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. *TR

MY 2011 BMW 550XI HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 RUN FLATS, 245/40. I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR IN JUNE 2011 AND HAVE HAD REPEATED BUBBLES ON THE FRONT TIRES. FOUR TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO DATE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH TIRES FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS. THE BMW DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO SAY WHETHER IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON TIRES WITH BUBBLES. *KB

REPEATED SIDEWALL BUBBLES ON MY GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRES, 245/40 R19, AND NEED FOR REPLACEMENT, BOTH FRONT TIRES IN TWO SEPERATE INCIDENTS, WITH LESS THAN 7,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AFTER HITTING MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THEY ARE UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS. *TT

ORIGINAL TIRES ON BMW 550I XDRIVE WITH M SPORT PACKAGE HAVE FAILED DUE TO BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALLS. THESE ARE GOOD YEAR EAGLE LS-2 RUNFLATS, 245/40R19 98 V. I HAVE HAD FRONT RIGHT TIRE REPLACED TWICE, AND FRONT LEFT TIRE NOW AWAITING 3RD REPLACEMENT. BUBBLES OCCUR AFTER TIRE TAKES ANY SMALL IMPACT IN THE ROAD, SUCH AS DRIVING OVER A MANHOLE THAT IS NOT QUITE UP TO THE LEVEL OF THE PAVEMENT, OR HITTING A SMALL POTHOLE. ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, THERE ARE NO OTHER TIRE REPLACEMENTS APPROVED, AND THE CURRENT TIRE REPLACEMENT IS ON BACKORDER. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE ON TIRES THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BLOW OUT THE SIDEWALL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THESE TIRES, WHICH WOULD THEN OBLIGATE BMW TO USE A DIFFERENT TIRE LINE. THANK YOU. *TT

THE GOODYEAR 245/40/19 LS2 TIRE ON MY 2011 BMW BLISTERED THEN LOST ALL AIR AFTER HITTING A MINOR POTHOLE AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE AT LOW SPEED AFTER THE LOSS OF AIR. NO SPARE TIRE IS PROVIDED ON THIS VEHICLE. THESE TIRES ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE FROM BMW OR GOODYEAR AND I HAD TO WAIT FOUR DAYS FOR A REPLACEMENT. THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE ONE TO TWO WEEKS I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE FIVE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENTS IN THE LAST FIVE MONTHS. *TR

2011 BMW 535XI WITH M SPORT PACKAGE DEVELOPED BUBBLE ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR LS-2 RUN FLAT TIRE. VEHICLE HAS 1830 MILES ON IT. SERVICE CENTER AGREED TO REPLACE TIRE HOWEVER THEY HAVE BEEN ON NATIONAL BACKORDER SINCE JULY (10 WEEKS BACKORDER). THERE IS NO OTHER ALL SEASON TOURING RUN FLAT TIRE AVAILABLE BY ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER. *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
