I PURCHASED FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES @ SEARS IN 2009..EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THESE TIRES MY TRUCK HAS HAD A BOUNCE BETWEEN 35-40 MPH.....I ALSO HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED ON THE SAME DAY.....I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE BUMPS THAT STICK OUT ON THE SIDEWALLS AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BUT WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL WHEN THE TIRES ARE MANUFACTURED....I HAVE LOOKED AT SOME OTHER TIRES AND DO NOT NOTICE THESE TYPES OF DEFECT ON THESE... I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO HAVE THE BALANCE CHECKED BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM....AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED...I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK THAT THESE BUMPS ON THE SIDEWALL ARE CAUSING THE BOUNCING...AT THE MOMENT THESE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 8,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

THIS IS ABOUT YET ANOTHER SET OF GOODYEAR P27560R20 WRANGLER HP . SIDE WALLS SPLIT OUT. 18,000 MILES. *TR

WELL I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN I GET TO 50 MPH I EXPERIENCE EXTREME "DEATH WOBBLE" AS ITS OFTEN CALLED. MY VEHICLE WILL SHAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT FEEL LIKE EITHER THE AXEL IS GOING TO SNAP OR THE WHEELS WILL SHOOT OFF IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. IT IS VERY SCARY. ITS DOES IT ROUGHLY 8 OUT OF 10 TIMES AT 50MPH. IT STARTED AFTER HAVING THE JEEP FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND MY DEALERSHIP TRIED ONCE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE FRONT STABILIZER. IT CONTINUED AFTER THEY REPLACED THAT AND FROM THAT STANDPOINT TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIRES AND THEY WOULDN'T COVER NEW TIRES AFTER ONCE TELLING ME THEY HAD FIXED THE ISSUE. I NOW HAVE TO AVOID THE HIGHWAY IN FEAR OF DEATH. IT IS HONESTLY RESEMBLES OF A 8 OR 9 ON THE RICHTER SCALE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 85 IN MY HOMETOWN OF THOMASVILLE NORTH CAROLINA IN MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE WHICH HAD EXACTLY 1,320 MILES ON IT, ON 12/13/10 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:00 PM, MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. I WAS TRAVELING AT ROUGHLY 60-65 MPH AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. I WAS CRUISING ALONG, PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AS I ALWAYS DO BEING MINDFUL OF OTHER DRIVERS AND MY SURROUNDINGS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP OR BANG WHICH I WOULD CONSIDER SIMILAR TO A RIFLE OR SHOTGUN BLAST. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEARING THIS LOUD NOISE, I SLOWED MY SPEED TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE. ABOUT THAT TIME MY TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND BEGAN TO CHIME AND LIGHT UP SIGNALING THAT MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND BEGAN TO FEEL THE VEHICLE PULL AND DRAG AND FELT THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE VEHICLE BEGINNING TO DROP. I MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON AN OFF RAMP. I GOT OUT TO INSPECT WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WHAT I SAW WAS A TIRE THAT WAS COMPLETELY DEFLATED AND WAS SMOKING. I THEN GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND CALLED ONSTAR AND NOTIFIED THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY THEN CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME AND CHANGE MY TIRE WHICH THEY DID IN A TIMELY FASHION. *TR
