I EXPERIENCED TWO TIRE FAILURES, SIX MONTHS APART, ON MY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. BOTH INSTANCES I WAS TRAVELLING ON PAVED ROADS ABOUT SIXTY MPH. I HAD SOME CAMPING GEAR IN THE PICKUP BED, BUT BY NO MEANS AN EXCESSIVE LOAD. IN EACH INSTANCE I FELT A SLIGHT WOBBLE, THEN EXPERIENCED A TIRE FAILURE. THE SIDEWALLS WERE COMPLETELY SHREDDED ON AT LEAST ONE SIDE. IN THE FIRST INSTANCE I WENT TO A LES SCHWAB DEALER IN LAKEVIEW, OREGON (ONLY DEALER NEARBY). THEIR PERSON SAID IT LOOKED LIKE A TIRE FAILURE. I BROUGHT IT BACK WITH ME TO MY HOMETOWN OF KENNEWICK, WA, AND TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR OUTLET TO REQUEST AN ADJUSTMENT FOR THE FIRE. THEY TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD PROBLEM(I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING), AND SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. I LEFT IT AT THAT, EXCEPT TO WRITE GOODYEAR AT AN ADDRESS IN MY OWNERS PAMPHLET OUTLINING MY WARRANTY. I DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT, EXPRESSED BY DISAPPOINTMENT, BUT NEITHER ASKED FOR NOR RECEIVED A REPLY. THE SECOND FAILURE SIX MONTHS LATER ON ANOTHER OF THE SAME TIRES I THOUGHT WAS A LITTLE MUCH, SO I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TIRES. I DID NOT CONTACT GOODYEAR AGAIN AS I DID NOT EXPECT ANY RESPONSE BASED ON NOT RECEIVING ANY LAST TIME. LUCKILY, EVEN THOUGH BOTH TIRES FAILED COMPLETELY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE IN A CONTROLLED MANNER WITH NO INJURY OR DAMAGE. THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO YOU IN CASE YOU RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF A NUMBER OF SIMILAR FAILURES IN LIKE GOODYEAR TIRES. THANK YOU.*AK (DOT NUMBER: M6HFEKWR20 TIRESIZE: P215/75R15)

GOODYEAR,LOAD RANGE E, RTIRE SIZE LT 245/75R16; TIRES WERE WORN OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO GOODYEAR DEALER, AND DEALE R PUT ON NEW TIRES. GOODYEAR RECALLED TIRES, BUT ONLY WOULD REPLACE THE TIRES IN VEHICLE WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR 2000, FORD TRUCK, F350 . *AK

THIS IS A "LOAD RANGE E" GOODYEAR TIRE PROBLEM. AT 30081, 30805, 35213, AND 38060, MILES ONE EACH OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES FAILED DUE TO SIDEWALL SEPARATION AND WAS REPLACED AT VARYING CHARGES BY DEALERS. NOW, AT ABOUT 50,612 MILES, ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRES HAS FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON. GOODYEAR IS GIVING ME A "RUN AROUND" AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN ALL PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES VARIOUSLY CLAIMING THAT THE TIRE IS "NO LONGER AVAAILABLE" "ON BACKORDER" "NO LONGER MANUFACTURED" "NOT ADJUSTABLE" ETC. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE LAST FAILURE WAS SHOWN TO GOODYEAR, AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS, DEALER NAMES AND LOCATIONS, AND AM READY TO ASSIST YOU IN WHATEVER WAY IS APPROPRIATE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MK11 TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)
