I BOUGHT A DODGE DURANGO LESS THAN A YEAR AGO (JUNE 2003) I HAVE SINCE THEN REPLACED A TOTAL OF 3 TIRES. TWO OF WHICH WHERE THE SAME TIRE, REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRST TIRE WAS REPLACED IN OCT"03", THEN THE SAME TIRE REPLACED AGAIN IN NOV "03". THE THIRD TIRE THAT I REPLACED WAS IN FEB "04" THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUT THE RIP FOUND IN THE TIRE WAS NOT DICOVERED TILL I HAD MY TIRE ROTATION. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN TH REAR TIRE AS WELL. NOW THE ONE THAT I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED TWICE HAS BLOWNOUT YET AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME CAUSING A ACCIDENT MAY 1,2004. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME REPLACING THE SAME TIRE ALONG WITH MY WHOLE FRONT END GETTING REPAIRED. TOTAL OF NOW 4 TIRES HAVE BEEN PUT ON THIS VEHICLE 3 OF WHICH WHERE THE SAME TIRE. ALL HAD RIPS IN THE TIRE WALL. COULD THIS BE A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? I CAN NOT AFFORD ALL THESE TIRE REPLACEMENTS AND INSURACE GOING UP. I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR ALL MY REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, CAR RENTAL, AND ETC.*AK

WHILE AT HOME AFTER PARKING MY F-150 IN THE DRIVEWAY. AN HOUR LATER I WENT TO GET MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT. I WENT TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND SAW THAT IT WAS CUT. TOOK THE TIRE OFF AND SAW THAT THE RUBBER AND CAME OFF FROM THE METAL THAT GOES AROUND THE RIM. TOOK THE TIRE TO THE NEAREST GOODYEAR DEALER. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A BEAD SEPARATION AND THAY HAVE NEVER SAW A TIRE DO THAT BEFORE. THE BAD THING IS THAT I HAVE ANOTHER TIRE ABOUT TO DO THE SAMETHING. IT IS THE SPARE, AND I AM USING IT.*AK
