PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA TIRES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS (2 PURCHASED @ JUST TIRES AND 2 PURCHASED AT GARDENA NISSAN). TIRES FREQUENTLY LOST AIR PRESSURE. I WENT BACK TO JUST TIRES AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE RIMS. I WENT BACK TO GARDENA NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SO I PURCHASED NITROL THINKING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I TOOK IT BACK, STILL NO PROBLEM FOUND. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A POP, STOPPED AND SAW THAT THE TIRE WAS FLAT. TURNED INTO GAS STATION ON CORNER AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT AIR IN, TIRE WOULD NOT INFLATE. CALLED AAA, TOW TRUCK DRIVER REMOVED TIRE AND FOUND 3 CRACKS, 1 OF WHICH HAD BLOWN OPEN. HE SAID IT AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. A WEEK PRIOR TO INCIDENT I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GOODYEAR FOR THE SAME DEFECT. I TOOK TIRE TO GARDENA NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING-I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO GOODYEAR. I THEN WENT TO JUST TIRES, THEY SAID THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE BUT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE DOT AND THEY COULDN'T GET AUTHORIZATION BECAUSE GOODYEAR WAS ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE DAY. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT ONE OTHER TIRE HAD THE SAME CRACKS IN IT. SO I PURCHASED 2 NEW TIRES AT THE PRORATED RATE. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR THE NEXT DAY ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FALL WITHIN THE RECALL CRITERIA, EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. *TR
