GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES Complaints

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

I HAVE HAD 8 BENT RIMS AND HAD TO REPLACE 5 TIRES DUE TO MULTIPLE BUBBLES IN EACH TIRE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2010. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. *KB
