GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRES Complaints

LT245/75R16. Driving north on I-77 around Charlotte, NC around 7:40 PM and the tire blew out. I saw in my left rearview mirror the treads roll off the right side of the highway. I did not run over anything. Travel speed was 65 to 70 mph in medium traffic. No warning lights came on. Did not lose control and was able to navigate to the left side of highway when enough space opened up after a guide rail. All that was left was the rim and shredded sidewalls. Tire was installed in August, 2025 and had just about 3000 miles on it when the blowout occurred. The passenger side of the vehicle was about 3 feet from the fog line, and traffic for the exit ramp was very close to the vehicle. Called 911 and NCDOT helped remove the rim and put on the spare. My wife and daughter were in the vehicle.

LT245/75R16 The fist tire failure was rear driver's side which caused a code service stable trac- this caused the vehicle to lose power and engine to die. I made home at 20mph in yraffic.I spent $500 for diagnostic check and new tire. The tire is misshapen and alerts sensor that caused engine to lose power and ultimately die. With new tire the problem was solved. But then the rear passenger tire while on the freeway acted up and caused the van to shake and rattle violently. Drove home at lower speed . I replace that tire with the spare which is a different brand and the van ran fine. Checked the bad tire and it is higher on one side than the other. Checked front tires and there are flat spots and irregularities on both tires

TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM TIRE. SECOND WRANGLER HT TIRE TO SEPARATE. BOTH INSTANCES CAUSED DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND OCCURRED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2500 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT TIRES, SIZE: LT215/85R16. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TWO FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT. LATER ON THE SAME DAY, THE REAR TIRES BLEW OUT. THERE WAS TREAD SEPARATION ON EACH TIRE. TWO OF THE TIRES WERE SHIPPED TO NEW JERSEY. THE CONTACT DROVE TO FT. LAUDERDALE TO A TIRE MANUFACTURER AND PURCHASED TWO NEW TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ON AUG. 8, 2017 I WAS DRIVING A LEVEL 2 LANE SECLUDED ASPHALT ROAD IN MY 1998 DODGE CAMPER VAN. THE VAN IS DODGE 3500 EXTENDED MODEL, MODIFIED BY SPORTSMOBILE INTO A CAMPER VAN IN 1999. AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 50 MPH SUDDENLY A LOUD NOISE OCCURRED AND PIECE OF TIRE BEGAN TO FLY OFF. THE TIRES HAS BEEN RECENTLY ROTATED AND PRESSURE ADJUSTED TO ABOUT 80 PSI BY LES SCHWAB TIRES. WE HAD BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP SO I CHECKED TIRE INFLATION ABOUT EVERY DAY. THE TIRE TREAD HAD DISINTEGRATED AND PART OF IT HAD FLOWN OFF BUT THE TIRE WAS STILL INFLATED (AND STILL IS). ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE TREAD IS GONE. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND REPLACE THE TIRE. HOWEVER UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY IF THE TIRE HAD BEEN IN FRONT I BELIEVE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND THE VAN WOULD LIKELY ROLLED.

LEFT REAR TIRE BLOWOUT WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON US HWY 550 AT MILE POST 84 OVER RED MOUNTAIN PASS. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS PASS WITH STEEP DROP OFFS AND NARROW, IF ANY, SHOULDERS. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO FIND ROOM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD TO REMOVE THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND MOUNT THE SPARE. HAD THIS BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON ANOTHER STRETCH OF THE ROAD, DRIVER AND TRUCK WOULD HAVE GONE OVER THE EDGE. ASPHAULT PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND ICE-FREE AT THE TIME. DRIVER JUDGES THE BLOWOUT DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT: PLY AND TREAD SEPARATION. TIRE WAS OEM PROVIDED WITH THE NEW TRUCK, NOT QUITE 2 YEARS OLD, AND OTHERWISE AMPLE TREAD LIFE. DRIVER HAS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE TIRE, AND KEEPS THE TIRE IN HIS BARN FOR INSPECTION IF REQUIRED.

THIS STARTED IN 2007 WITH THE PURCHASE OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES. THEY HAVE FAILED IN 2009 (PAID TO REPLACE), 2013, 2014. THESE TIRE ARE USED ON MY2003 CHEVROLET 2500 DIESEL PICKUP AND WE PULL A 5TH WHEEL. THE TIRES CONTINUE TO SEPARATE AND THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON MARCH 6TH, 2014. THIS HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD. WE WERE TRAVELING TO PHOENIX AZ FROM GRAPEVINE, TX WHEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT BETWEEN ALBUQUERQUE NM AND GRANTS NM. THE TIRE WAS INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE IN SEP 2012 AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 18000 MILES. IN AUGUST OF 2013 I HAD TO REPLACE 3 MORE TIRES BECAUSE OF TREAD SEPARATION. GOODYEAR WILL REPLACE THEM FOR A PRICE AND IT'S STARTING TO GET VERY COSTLY. THEY REIMBURSE FOR ABOUT 20% OF THE COST OF A TIRE. I WILL BUY NEW TIRES BUT NOT GOODYEAR. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. *TR
