GOODYEAR, INVICTA, P205/70R15, DOT UNKNOWN, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A 1998, OLDSMOBILE, 88 WITH 65000. FROM TIME OF PURCHASE THERE WAS VIBRATION IN VEHICLE. DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO TIRES, AND REPLACED ALL TIRES IN FEBRUARY 2000 WITH SAME BRAND, 20000 MILES ON VEHICLE. VIBRATION PERSISTED, AND IN AUGUST OF 2000, TIRES REPLACED AGAIN WITH SAME BRAND AND MODEL. DURING ROTATION OF TIRES IN AUGUST 2001, MECHANIC SAW ALL 4 TIRES HAD BROKEN BELTS. CONSUMER HAD TIRES REPLACED WITH OTHER BRAND. NO VIBRATION.*AK

MY MOTOR MOUNTS WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MAKING THE ENGINE HOP. MY SEATBELTS ARE LOCKING UP SO THAT YOU CAN NOT GET THE SEAT BELTS ON. AND MY TIRES CORD BROKE MAKING THE TIRE WAVY AND THE STEEL BELT WAS SHOWING THROUGH.*AK (DOT NUMBER: E13 027430 TIRESIZE: P195/60R15)

AT INTERSTATE SPEED VALVE STEM CAME OUT OF LF TIRE, FOLLOWED SHORTLY THERE AFTER BY ALL THE AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY STOPPED AND THERE WAS NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR WHEEL. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE AT AN EARLIER TIME TO THE VALVE STEM. UPON REPLACEMENT OF TIRE AND STEM, THE BACK PIECE OF THE STEM WAS INSIDE THE TIRE. NEXT WEEK THE 5 REMAINING VALVE STEMS ON THE FORD F350 DUALLY WILL BE REPLACED, BECAUSE IT WAS A PECULIAR FAILURE TO SAY THE LEAST. I HOPE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS EXPERIENCE IS AS LUCKY AS WE WERE.*AK (TIRESIZE: 235/85/16)

DEALER REPLACED FIRESTONE TIRES WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. GOODYEAR TIRES COULD NOT BE BALANCED, OR WERE OUT OF ROUND. AFTER TRYING TEN GOODYEAR TIRES THE DEALER PUT ON B F GOODRICH TIRES. THE 17" GOODYEAR REPLACEMENT TIRE IS VERY POOR QUAILTY AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO VIRBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WILL BE SENDING NSTA COPIES OF LETTERS I WROTE TO FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU. *AK (TIRESIZE: 265R70 17)
