GOODYEAR INVECTA GS TIRES Complaints

I NOTICED RECENTLY A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING. FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, I THOUGHT ONE OF THE TIRES NEEDED BALANCING, SINCE I DID NOT FEEL ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS. I WENT TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED, AND THE GOODYEAR DEALER SAID THE TIRES HAD A DEFECT IN THE BELTS. HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES, BECAUSE HE SAID THEY ALL LOOKED BAD. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY (10/12/01) TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, BUT WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, I WENT TO DRIVE TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY ON 10/11/01 AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW UP. I THINK THAT GOODYEAR SHOULD REPLACE THESE TIRES AT "NO CHARGE" INSTEAD OF PRO-RATING THEM, BUT THAT PROBABLY WON'T HAPPEN WITHOUT A RECALL RIGHT? I WOULD NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WHAT IF THEY HAVE BAD TIRES, BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY VIBRATION LIKE I DID? CAN THESE TIRES BLOW UP WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS?*AK (TIRESIZE: P215 70R15)
