ON NOV. 3RD OF THIS YEAR MY SON HAD A BLOW OUT WITH ONE OF THE NEW EAGLE LS TIRES. HE WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY AND HIT THE CURB WITH HIS FRONT RIGHT TIRE. HE TOOK THE TIRE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE DEALER TOLD HIM THAT HITTING THE CURB CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW. THIS TIRE HAD ONLY 2341 MILES ON IT AND I DO NOT THINK THAT HITTING A CURB WHILE ENTERING A PARKING LOT SHOULD CAUSE THIS TIRE TO BLOW. THIS PAST WEEKEND I WAS LOOKING OVER THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND A BULGE ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLIANTS ABOUT THIS TIRE. THE TIRE WHICH I AM ASKING ABOUT IS THE P225/55R16 94T S1 EAGLE LS. CAN YOU PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS TIRE. DT

AFTER 1 1/2 YEARS OF FRONT END PULLING, UNEVENNESS AND STEERING WHEEL WOBBLE, DEALER CONCLUDED FAULTY TIRES. GOODYEAR THEN CONCLUDED CAUSE TO BE OUT-OF-ROUND OEM CHRYSLER 16" CHROME WHEELS. GOODYEAR DID NOT REPLACE THE TIRES FREE OF CHARGE, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE PRO-RATION. AS OF THIS WRITING, AM AWAITING TO SPEAK WITH CHRYSLER SERVICE ZONE REP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REQUESTED CHRYSLER REIMBURSE FOR THE TWO FRONT TIRES, PAY FOR REAR TIRE REPLACEMENTS, AND REPLACE ALL FOUR CHROME WHEELS WITH NEW ONES. GOODYEAR STORE MANAGER CONFIRMED MANY PT CRUISERS HAVE BEEN IN HIS SHOP, MISDIAGNOSED BY DEALER TO BE FAULTY TIRES, ONLY TO DISCOVER THE OEM CHRYSLER CHROME WHEELS ARE OUT-OF-ROUND. ALSO TOLD ME 1) EITHER THE OEM WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE IN MANUFACTURE, OR 2) THE DESIGN OF THE PT CRUISER IS CAUSING ONLY THE CHROME WHEELS TO BECOME OUT-OF-ROUND UPON NORMAL DRIVING/USAGE. MY GOODYEAR TIRES WERE/ARE 3/4 TREAD WORN AT JUST 22,500 MILES. NORMAL TREAD LIFE FOR THESE TIRES IS BETWEEN 45,000-50,000 MILES. DT

PURCHASED 4 GOODYEAR LT30570R16 TIRES AT GOODYEAR DEALER IN ARCADIA, FL TO REPLACE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FIRESTONES TO AVOID TIRE PROBLEM. GOODYEAR DEALER ASSURED US THAT LARGER TIRE WOULD BE ADEQUATE AND SAFE FOR OUR NEEDS EVEN THOUGH WE EXPRESSED CONCERNS. CONTINUED WITH TRAVELS AND IN 6/2001 UPON CROSSING THE US/CANADA BORDER ON THE DIRT AND GRAVEL ROAD KNOWN AS 'THE TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY' GOING 25MPH TOWING A 5TH WHEEL THE LEFT REAR TIRE SPLIT IN TWO CROSSWAYS. I HAD TO DIG A HOLE IN THE ROAD AND WITH THE HELP OF A FRIEND MANAGED TO GET THE TIRE CHANGED. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THERE WAS A 1,000 FT DROP OFF OF A VERY NARROW ROAD WITH ADDITIONAL MOTOR VEHICLES PASSING DUE TO THE US CUSTOM'S STATION HAVING JUST OPENED FOR THE DAY. RETURNED TIRE TO GOODYEAR DEALER IN FAIRBANKS, AK ON 6/26/01. GOODYEAR REPLACED THE DAMAGED TIRE AND WE WERE FORCED TO PURCHASE A SECOND TIRE , $243, TO HAVE MATCHING TIRES ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. (LT305/70R16 WRANGLER MTR). SECOND INCIDENT IN COLORADO HEADING NORTH ON I-70, 2 MILES FROM THE COLORADO CITY EXIT. TRAVELING AT 60MPH DOWN A VERY STEEP WINDING PORTION OF THE HIGHWAY THE TIRE BEGAN THUMPING AND THE TREAD SEPARATED, BUT THE TIRE REMAINED INFLATED. MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO CHANGE TIRE. AGAIN, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AT SUNSET WITH SEMIS COMING AROUND THE DOWNHILL CURVE AT 75MPH. WITH GOD'S GRACE WE WERE ON A VERY WIDE PORTION OF PULL OFF AND MANAGED TO GET THE TIRE CHANGED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE TRUCK SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AND DOOR ESTIMATED AT $1,300. I FEEL VERY ANGRY THAT I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE 2 INCIDENCES SUCH AS THIS. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME OCCURRANCE WITH THE WRANGLER TIRES. I FEEL THAT I AM JUST A PART OF A 'CALCULATED RISK' BY GOODYEAR. I NOW HAVE ANOTHER WRANGLER AT/S TIRE THAT IS BULGING. I AM TOLD THAT I MUST REPLACE. DT
