WE HAVE '05 BUICK TERAZZA VAN - TIRE WEAR HAS BEEN UNSATISFACTORY - CUPPING NOTICED AT 18,000 MILES AND ONGOING. DEALER RECOMMENDED ROTATING TIRES - DONE TO NO AVAIL. CUPPING CONTINUED AND BECAME WORSE. ACTUALLY CUTTING TIRE. DEALER REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE MANF. PROBLEM WITH VAN HAVING UNEVEN WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION ON FRONT END. I HAVE LOCATED 5 OTHER PEOPLE IN AREA WITH SAME PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER FOR 60+ YRS. NEVER HAD TO REPLACE TIRES AT 25,000 MILES. OTHERS ARE HAVING TO DO THE SAME. TIRE DEALER REPORTS FREQUENT REPLACEMENT ISSUE IS APPEARING WITH THIS MODEL VAN. IS THIS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT? TIRES WERE ROTATED APPROX. EVERY 10,000 MILES INITIALLY THEN AT 5000 AND THEN AT 1000 MI. THIS MUST BE DEFECT IF OTHERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEMS. WE HAVE A BUICK RENDEZVOUS - 04 - TIRES ARE ROTATED IN SAME FASHION - HAS 45,000+ MILES AND TIRES ARE SHOWING NOT WEAR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU. *TR

MY SON AND A COUPLE OF HIS FRIENDS AND I WERE TRAVELING TO A MARLINS GAME ,ABOUT A 2 HR. DRIVE FROM OUR HOUSE. I HAD MADE A VISUAL CK. OF TIRES WHILE FUELING CAR BEFORE GETTING ON I-95. ALL LOOKED FINE. ABOUT 3-4 MILES AS I WAS GETTING ON I-95 THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I PULLED OFF TO A SAFE AREA AND CHANGED TIRE. SOMETHING SEEMED ODD TO ME SO THE NEXT DAY I INSPECTED THE TIRE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANY REASON FOR THE BLOW OUT. TIRES ARE NOT THAT OLD AND THEY APPEARED TO HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD [3/8"]. TO THE UNTRAINED EYE ALL SEEMED NORMAL AS I COULD FIND NOTHING ON THE TREAD AREA THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY DAMAGE TO THAT PART OF TIRE. THE OUTER SIDEWALL WAS SHREDDED AS I HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT A 1/4 MILE TO GET OFF THE ON RAMP TO A SAFE AREA TO CHANGE TIRE , INNER SIDEWALL SHOWED LITTLE DAMAGE. I RECALL HITTING OR RUNNING OVER NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY DAMAGE TO TIRE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE THESE TIRES ON THE OTHER WHEELS AS WELL AS SPARE TIRE .THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I WANT TO BE SURE SHE AND MY SON WILL BE SAFE. I'VE HAD TIRES GO FLAT BEFORE BUT AFTER MAKING A POINT OF CHECKING THEM PRIOR TO OUR TRIP AND THE ODD WAY THEY WENT FLAT I BECAME SUSPICIOUS THAT MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE. I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM BACK TO DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT I'LL SEE IF THEY'LL ALLOW ME TO KEEP TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT IT . THANK YOU JIM DIRKS *TR ..

WE EXPERIENCED A TREAD SEPARATION BLOWOUT ON OUR 2005 CAR-LIGHT 5TH WHEEL TRAILER WITH ONLY 15000 MILES ON THE GOODYEAR G614 RST TIRES. TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED TO BE THE SPECIFIED 110 LBS THAT MORNING, AND AT THE OUTSET OF EVERY TRIP. GOODYEAR SETTLED FOR FULL REPLACEMENT PRICE ON A NEW TIRE PLUS DAMAGES TO THE TRAILER OF ABOUT $2100. *TR

OF 4 TIRES PURCHASED IN MAY 2008, 3 HAVE FAILED. ONE TIRE WAS REPLACED DUE TO RADIAL TIRE PULL. A SECOND WAS REPLACED DUE TO A BLISTER THAT DEVELOPED ON THE SIDEWALL. A THIRD WAS REPLACED DUE TO A FLAT SPOT THAT WAS DISCOVERED ON THE TREAD, WHICH WAS FOUND WHEN THE TIRE COULD NOT BE BALANCED. ALL 3 TIRES FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 6,000 MILES OF TREADWEAR. TIRES ARE GOODYEAR COMFORT TREAD. *TR

2 TIRES ON OUR TRAVEL TRAILER HAD TREAD SEPARATE WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES OF USAGE. THE TRAILER WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2006. WE CALL THE SUPPLIER OF THESE TIRES. THEY INFORMED US THAT A VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT CAMPAIGN WAS ALREADY OVER. WHAT IS A VOLUNTARY REPLACEMENT? *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE HEAR AND FEEL LUMP, LUMP ABOUT 10 TIMES AND THEN AN EXPLOSION. YOU CAN FEEL THE TIRE EXPLODE ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CAR AND THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR
