GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A EMT TIRES Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA EMT TIRES, LINE SIZE 255/45/R20. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN THE CONTACTS WAS INFORMED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TIRES WERE WEARING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE TIRE. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE TIRES AND BELIEVED THE FAILURE COULD BE CORRECTED BY PERFORMING AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER THE ALIGNMENT WAS TESTED, THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TIRES COULD POTENTIALLY BE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,400.

PREMATURE TREAD SEPARATION ON INSIDE OF BOTH FRONT GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A EMT 255/45R20 TIRES. GOODYEAR PRORATED NEW TIRES 50% OFF. DEFECTIVE TIRES HAD 8/32" REMAINING LIFE. *TR

THE SIDEWALL AND TREAD ARE SEPARATING. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR RS-A EMT RUN ON FLAT TIRES THAT CAME STANDARD ON MY 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY A TIRE TECHNICIAN WHILE HAVING MY TIRES ROTATED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND VICE VERSA. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE TIRES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STR8 (NA) EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA EMT 255/45/R20 TIRES. THE DOT WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDEWALL ON THE FRONT TIRES SHREDDED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY AND SHAKE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE DEALER AND WAS AWAITING NEW TIRES TO BE SENT.

REGARDING GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A EMT (RUNFLAT), SIZE 255/45R20, TIRES THAT COME AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE 2010 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8. THE FRONT TIRES HAVE SHOWN EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE SHOULDER LEADING TO THE TREAD SEPARATING FROM THE SIDEWALL IN UNDER THAN 14,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AS MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE, A 2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT-8, EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME WHEEL/TIRE PACKAGE FROM THE FACTORY EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURE TWICE WITHIN 40,000 MILES. *TR

AFTER READING WHERE MULTIPLE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SRT8 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING FRONT TIRE FAILURE WITH FACTORY TIRES, I HAD MY TIRES CHECKED DURING AN ALIGNMENT. BOTH OF MY FRONT TIRES ARE EXPERIENCING A TREAD SEPARATION FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT, 0 MILES FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR CORPORATE, WHO SENT ME TO A GOODYEAR DEALER LOCALLY, WHO INSPECTED MY TIRES, INFORMED ME THEY WERE DEFECTIVE, AND OFFERED ME A PRO-RATED REPLACE OF 50% OFF. I FEEL THAT IF A TIRE (OR ANY PRODUCT) HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THEN IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SUCH AND NOT PRO-RATED. THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE FROM DAY ONE, AND IS ONLY SHOWING SUCH AFTER SOME USE. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF TIRES THAT ARE NOT COMPLETELY USED NOR WORN TO TREADWEAR MARKERS FOR FEAR OF COMPLETE TIRE FAILURE. *TR
