GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST TIRES Complaints

LEFT REAR TIRE BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. TIRE SIDEWALL WAS SHATTERED. *AK

TIRES ON 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO DO NOT HAVE GRIP, THEY SLIDE ON SLOPES EVEN IN DRY WEATHER. YOU MUST PREPARE AHEAD OF TIME TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP OR YOU WILL SLIDE OR TIRES WILL JUST SPIN WHEN YOU PROCEED ON A HILL OR SLIGHT INCLINE, NO TRACTION AT ALL, CONSIDER DANGEROUS. *LA

SIGNIFICANT SIDEWALL CRACKS NOTICED ABOVE THE RIM ON THREE TIRES (FOURTH TIRE NEW AFTER REPLACEMENT FROM BLOWOUT TWO MONTHS AGO). WRANGLER ST 215/75R/15. TIRES HAVE 30K MILES AND TWO YEARS OLD. GOODYEAR STORE MANAGER IN COLLEGE STATION TX SAID THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE WITH OUR REMOVING TIRE FROM RIM AND INSPECTING INSIDE OF SIDEWALL. REFUSED TO CONSIDER PROBLEM AS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. DID OFFER PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT AS WARRANTY ISSUE. Z8JB

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. *AK THREE NEW GOODYEAR TIRES HAD SIDEWALL TREAD SEPARATIONS WITHIN A PERIOD OF LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. ONE RESULTED IN A BLOW OUT AND TWO OF THE TIRES HAD A KNOT ON THE SIDEWALL. REFER TO ODI#10027229. *SCC *JB

AFTER 27,000 MILES, ALL FOUR GOODYEAR, WRANGLER ST TIRES EXHIBIT CRACKS, ADJACENT TO THE RIM FOR THE FULL DISTANCE AROUND EACH TIRE. THE LOCAL GOODYEAR STORE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES ON A PRORATED BASIS. BASED UPON SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE, AND THE POTENTIAL UGLY RESULTS FROM TIRE FAILURE, I AM REGISTERING MY COMPLAINT ALSO. THE TIRE SIZE IS 225/75R16.*AK

OWNER OF 2001 DODGE DAKOTA P/U, WITH WRANGLER ST TIRES, AT 10000 MILES TIRES CRACKED AROUND RIM, GOODYEAR STORE ONLY ADJUSTED THE FRONT ONES, WHICH HE SAID WERE CRACKED. THE REAR, HE CALLED DRY ROTTING, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE FRONT TIRES 8000 MILES LATER ARE CRACKED. I CALLED WESTCHASE TIRE AND AUTO , IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AND THE STORE MANAGER MENTIONED THAT IT WAS STRANGE THAT THIS HAD OCCURED AGAIN. I CHECKED THE NHTSA SITE AND FOUND THE SAME TYPE OF FAILURES WERE BEING REPORTED SINCE SEVERAL YEARS BACK. I AM POSITIVE THAT NEITHER GOODYEAR NOR DODGE WILL FESS UP TO ANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I JUST HOPE THAT LOSS OF LIVES DO NOT OCCUR BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN. I WILL HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED ONCE MORE AND SEE HOW LONG THEY WILL LAST THIS TIME.*AK

THE TIRES CRACKED UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. DEALER NOTIFIED. *JB *TS *JB

AT 8,000 MILES ONE OF THE TIRES WENT FLAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE TIRE DEALER WHICH FOUND ALL FOUR TIRES (GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST P215/75R15) HAD CRACKS IN THE TIRE WALL. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH THE SAME BRAND OF TIRE. NOW THE DRIVER FRONT AND REAR TIRES HAVE CRACKS IN THE TIRE WALL. THE CONSUMER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE #11259201. *NLM

I JUST BOUGHT A C1500 REGULAR CAB SHORT BED TRUCK. I WAS APPALLED TO FIND OUT THAT THE TIRES ARE RATED AT 950 LBS. AT MAX LOAD OF 44PSI. THE TRUCKS DRY CURB WEIGHT IS LISTED AT 4142 LBS. AND MAX PAY LOAD IS 1958. THESE NUMBERS INDICATED THAT THE TRUCK CHEVROLET SUPPLIED IS ON TIRES THAT ARE NOT EVEN RATED TO HOLD THE TRUCK EMPTY! I CAN'T USE MY TRUCK TO HAUL OR CARRY ANYTHING WITHOUT EXCEEDING THE TIRE MANUFACTURES RATING. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST P235/75R16 (PASSENGER CARE TIRES?) I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON THESE TIRES. I WANT GM TO REPLACE THEM WITH TIRES THAT ARE RATED TO THE CAPACITIES OF THE TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT ON THE ASSUMPTIONS GIVEN IN THE CHEVY TRUCK BROCHURES SUPPLIED AT THE DEALERSHIPS. THE TIRES ON THE TRUCK ARE NOT EVEN LT (LIGHT TRUCK) AND ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A COPY OF WHAT I SUBMITTED TO THE CHEVROLET.COM WEBSITE. I DO NOT FAULT THOROBRED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR THIS BUT DO EXPECT SOME CORRECTIVE ACTION. THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD TO ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. *JB THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT THANKS FOR YOUR TIME PLEASE RESPOND ASAP [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
