WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE & TWO GRAND DAUGHTERS, AT 60-65 MPH IN A 1996 DODGE RAM 2500 PULLING CHALLENGER TRAVEL TRAILOR, LEFT REAR TIRE HAD A TREAD SEPARATION; ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, TIRE SIZE LT245/75R16, DAMAGING LEFT REAR FENDER WELL AND SIDE PANEL. I HAD TO REPLACE PICKUP BOX SIDE PANEL. THE TREAD WRAPPED AROUND AXLE AND DAMAGED LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE. THE TIRE DID NOT BLOW-OUT. I MAINTAINED CONTROL OF VEHICLES, WHICH WERE FISH-TAILING, AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP ON SHOULDER OF HIWAY. THE HIWAY WAS CLEAR OF DEBRIS AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 1 HOUR WITH TEMPERATURES OF 90 - 95F.*AK

I EXPERIENCED MANY FLATS WITH THESE FORD FACTORY GOODYEAR TIRES. FINALLY I HAD A DANGEROUS BLOWOUT IN THE CARPOOL LANE ON A FREEWAY IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED THE TIRES WITH BIG O TOUR PLUS TIRES. I HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER FLAT SINCE. I HAD CALLED FORD AND GOODYEAR BEFORE THE BLOWOUT, COMPLAINING ABOUT MANY FLAT TIRES. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DISAGREE. I HAVE THE FOUR TIRES AND RECEIPTS FOR PROOF. I BELIEVE THE FACTORY GOODYEAR TIRES ARE DANGEROUSLY SOFT. I AM FORTUNATE MY WIFE AND I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE GOODYEAR TIRE BLEW. CAN YOU HELP US GET SOME RESPONSE FROM GOODYEAR & FORD?*AK

CONSUMER STATES AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS JUST BEFORE STOPPING, THERE WAS A SCRAPING/RUBBING SOUND THAT WOULD COME FROM THE FRONT END, NEW FRONT DISK BRAKE PADS WERE INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW ROTORS, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT ALUMINUM SPORT WHEELS AND THE ORIGINAL GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES, P225/50R16, DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THIS WAS A TIRE PROBLEM AND THAT A NEW SET OF TIRES SHOULD REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *SLC

THE TIRE LOOKED AS IF IT WAS REMADE OVER AN OLD WHITE WALL THERE WAS A WHITEWALL UNDER THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE THAT FAILED. *AK
