GOODYEAR EAGLE SI TIRES Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT DUE TO A SPLIT IN THE SIDEWALL, CAUSING DRIVER TO PULL OVER, OFF THE ROAD.*AK

TIRE CASING STARTED TO PEEL OFF. WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE WEEKEND. WE IMMEDIATELY CHANGED TO THE SPARE TIRE, AND LIMPED HOME. THE PONTIAC DEALER TOLD US THAT WE HAD TO GO TO THE GOODYEAR DEALER FOR AN ADJUSTMENT. THEY GAVE US AN ALLOWANCE TOWARD A NEW TIRE. BUT, I CAN'T HELP THINKING I CAUGHT OUR TIRE BEFORE IT GOT A CHANCE TO FALL APART LIKE ALL OF THOSE ONES I'VE BEEN SEEING ON TV. MY SON HAS A 1995 GRAND AM WITH THE SAME TIRES, AND HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A GOODYEAR EAGLE GA, THE SAME SIZE AS OURS. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU FOLKS KNOW. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MKT2E2DR12 TIRESIZE: P205/55R16)

A TIRE BLEW UP WHICH WAS OEM AT ONLY 14,000 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED UNDER NO WEIGHT LOAD IN THE BED. I'M IN A TRUCK CLUB OF FELLOW DAKOTA OWNERS. AT LEAST 6 OTHERS HAVE STATED PROBLEMS WITH THE STOCK EAGLE LS TIRES EXPLODING AT 14,000 MILES. WHILE I ONLY SUSTAINED DAMAGE OF A BLOWN TIRE AND DAMAGED RIM, OTHERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WITH DIFFERENT EAGLE LS TIRES BLOWING AT DIFFERNET TIMES. I'VE CONTACTED GOODYEAR AND DODGE DIRECTLY. UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SAVE THE BLOWN TIRE AND RIM FOR INSPECTION. I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING PERSONALLY FROM THIS BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS SPECIFIC BRAND OF TIRE. THANK YOU. (TIRESIZE: 255/65/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/65/15 )
