GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRE FLEW APART WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED. THE SIDEWALL CAVED IN. THE TIRE DIDN'T HAVE ANY VISUAL DEFECTS PRIOR TO THE BLOWOUT. TRULY CONCERNED WITH THE OTHER TIRES, SIMPLY VANISHING FROM BENEATH THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE WAS CONGESTED. *TR

2007 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID TIRE MONITOR INDICATED LOW TIRE PRESSURE. DISCOUNT TIRE REPLACED TIRE. TWO WEEKS LATER ANOTHER TIRE WAS LOW. DISCOUNT TIRE FIXED REMAINING 3 TIRE VALVE STEMS. TOTAL COST $245.79. *TR

THE VALVE STEMS ON MY TIRES ARE CAUSING CONSTANT LOW TIRE PRESSURE, TO THE POINT THAT ONE OF MY TIRES NOW HAS A HOLE IN THE SIDE WALL. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP, AND I HAVE UNDER 12K MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN THERE 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED! *TR

2006 MAZDA 3 TIRES. ALREADY NEED NEW TIRES AT 30K MILES, THIS SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING WAY TOO QUICKLY. I WOULD EXPECT TIRES TO LAST 40K-50K MILES BEFORE NEEDING NEW TIRES. *TR

AS I WA DRIVING ON I-495, I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE RIGHT REAR. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE TIRE WENT FLAT AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. ON REMOVING THE TIRE, I FOUND THAT THE INNER SIDEWALL HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FRO THE TREAD AND CRACK WAS ALMOST PERFECTLY CIRCULAR AND ABOUT MIDWAY UP THE SIDEWALL. THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT CAUSED BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT INTRUSION AS THESE TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW (REPLACED UNDER RECALL LAST YEAR). *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2007 PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SUDDENLY HAD A FLAT WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT FOR 6 WEEKS WITH VEHICLE. WHEN HAVING AUTO DEALER INSPECT THE FAULTY TIRE THE DEALER SAW SIDEWALL DAMAGE THAT REFLECTED SERIOUS FLAW/DEFECT ON SEVERAL OF THE GOODYEAR EAGLE P245/R4518 TIRES. WAS TOLD TO TAKE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT GOODYEAR AKRON, OHIO REFUSED TO EXCHANGE TIRES. BUT WOULD ACCEPT PRORATION ON TIRES THAT GOODYEAR DEALER CONFORMED TO BE DEFECTED TIRES. GOODYEAR DEALER SAID THAT GOODYEAR HAD SAME SIZE AND MODEL TIRES AS A RECALL ON A DIFFERENT AUTO RECENTLY. *TR

I LEASED A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO LT-1500 PICKUP AND THE VALVE STEM ON A TIRE WAS BAD I SEE FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIRS? IS THERE A PATTERN FORMING HERE? *TR

VEHICLE ORDERED WITH 30INCH OPTIONAL WHEELS FROM FACTORY SHOWS INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE ON VEHICLE PLACARD. SHOWS 30INCH WHEELS ON WINDOW STICKER BUT P195 TIRE SIZE ON PLACARD. OWNERS MANUAL SHOWS 29PSI AND DOOR JAM PLACARD SHOWS 33PSI. *TR

GROOVE APPEARED ON PART OF INNER EDGE OF TIRES EXPOSING BELT. IT ONLY HAD THE GROOVE ON ABOUT 1/3 OF THE TIRE , NOT ALL THE WAY AROUND LIKE A WEAR OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THE TIRES HAVE LOTS OF TREAD EXCEPT IN THIS LITTLE GROOVE. AFTER THE AIR WAS LET OUT FOR REPLACEMENT A FINGER PROBE OF THE AREA FELT VERY SOFT LIKE YOU COULD PUT YOUR FINGER THROUGH IT. (18,000 MILES ON A WELL MAINTAINED 2007 SRT8 CHRYSLER 300 WITH PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM.) *TR

THE SIDE WALLS OF ALL THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK ARE UNZIPPERING AROUND THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE WRITING. IT IS IN A CIRCULAR PATH ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TIRES. THE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. I HAVE SEEN THE SAME DAMAGE TO OTHER TRUCK TIRES OF THE SAME STYLE. I WAS TOLD BY GOOD YEAR IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS REMOVED FOR SAFETY REASONS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS IN DANGER OF A SIDEWALL BLOW OUT. IT WILL NOT EVEN HOLD AIR. IT LEAKS OUT OF THE CRACK. *TR
