THE TIRE FAILED AT 35 MPH BUT HAD TO BE DRIVEN ABOUT 100 FEET TO REMOVE IT SAFELY FROM THE ROADWAY. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE RESULT IF NEEDED. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE THE RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT.

ON JULY 6TH, 2018 ABOUT 11:30 AM, I EXPERIENCED A FRONT PASSENGER BLOWOUT ON MY 2016 CLASS A MOTORHOME. MY RV WAS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR G670 TIRES 295/80R22.5 THAT CAME ON IT AT PURCHASE. TRAVELING EAST ON I-10 JUST BEFORE BAYTOWN, TEXAS. DRIVING AT 62 MPH ON A DRY SUNNY DAY THE TIRE BLEW. NEITHER MY WIFE NOR I WERE INJURED BUT, THE EXPERIENCE WILL LAST A LIFE TIME, THE TIRE SHOWED NO SIGNS OF OUTER DAMAGE AND I ONLY HAD JUST OVER 20K MILES ON THE TIRES. THE BLOWOUT CAUSE THE RV TO STEER HARD AND FAST RIGHT SENDING THE RV ACROSS ONE LANE AS I FOUGHT TO KEEP IT FROM STRAIGHT. IT LEFT THE FREEWAY HEADING ACROSS THE DITCH TO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC OF THE FRONTAGE ROAD. IN MY FIGHT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL, I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO A STOP DOWN THE CENTER OF A DITCH. ONCE THE RV WAS RECURRED, TIRE REMOVE I TOOK WHAT WAS LEFT TO THE GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER IN BAYTOWN ON I-10 TO MAKE A CLAIM. NOT HEARING FROM THEM AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, I VISITED THE CENTER AND MADE 2 CALLS OF INQUIRY. TODAY IS APRIL 1ST, 2019 AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THE CENTER OR GOODYEAR. THE BLOWOUT DAMAGE COST OVER 60K DOLLARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC ACADIA EQUIPPED WITH FOUR GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES, SIZE: P255/65R18. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTING TO THE TREAD. ALL FOUR TIRES FAILED A TIRE INSPECTION. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRES HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A GOODYEAR AUTHORIZED TIRE FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V044000 (TIRES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

3 YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A SET OF 4 GOODYEAR WARNGLER DURATRAC TIRES FOR MY SUZUKI VITARA. AFTER APROX 1,5 YEARS I GO TO TIRE SERVICE SHOP TO REPAIR AIR LOSS AROUND THE RIM. WITH TIRE UNMOUNTED WE FOUND INNER LAYER SEPARATION. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SELLER AND AFTER CHECKING WITH GOODYEAR REPRESANTIVE THEY CHANGED THE TIRE WITH NEW ONE. AFTER ANOTHER APROX 1,5 YEARS I HAVE TO GO TO TIRE SHOP FOR ANOTHER REPAIR AND FOUND ANOTHER TIRE WITH SPLIT LAYERS. WE CHECKED ALL OTHER TIRES MINUS WARRANTY REPLACED ONE AND THEY ALL ARE SPLIT FROM INSIDE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SELLER AND GOODYEAR REPRESENTIVE BUT THEY DIDN'T OFFER ANY SOLUTION YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER 300 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE TIRES, SIZE: 245/45Z/R20 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING AN OIL CHANGE AT DERROW CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF DEFIANCE (419-782-7373, LOCATED AT 20390 COUNTY RD 424, DEFIANCE, OH 43512), IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS SPLIT AND THE THREAD ON THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY WORN.

THE TIRES OF THE NEW 2019 HONDA ACCORD WERE FIXED BY THE DEALER SHOP: NORTHSIDE HONDA AT 9100 SAN PEDRO AVENUE SAN ANTONIO, TX 78216 (210) 988-9644 BUT THE DETERIORATING CONDITION OF THE TIRES CONTINUES

DRIVING ON I-75 SOUTH BETWEEN EXIT 123 AND EXIT 116. I HEARD A POP AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHIMMY I DECELERATED AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS TOTALLY SHREDDED. THE ENTIRE SIDE WALL WAS GONE. I HAD JUST CHECK THE PRESSURES THE DAY BEFORE.

I SKIDDED BACKWARDS DOWN THE STREET IN SNOWY CONDITIONS BECAUSE 2019 HONDA CIVIC SI WAS SHIPPED WITH SUMMER TIRES INSTEAD OF ALL SEASON TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER'S WINDOW STICKER INDICATED THAT ALL SEASON TIRES WERE INSTALLED WHEN IN FACT, THEY WERE SUMMER TIRES WHICH WERE TOTALLY UNSUITED TO DRIVING IN NEW ENGLAND IN WINTER. I ONLY DISCOVERED THIS AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS AND HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 19-007, BUT HAS NOT NOTIFIED ALL OF THE DEALERS AND HAS NOT CONTACTED THE OWNERS DIRECTLY.
