WENT TO MULTIPLE GOODYEAR DEALERS RE. PROBLEM AND ALSO CAR DEALER IN NC. VERY SCARY TO HAVE TWO IN ONE DAY. ALMOST DIDN'T GET BACK IN CAR NEXT MORNING. STILL SHAKY ABOUT TIRES. SAW ARTICLE RE. GOODYEAR IN NEWS RECENTLY AND DECIDED TO WRITE TO YOU. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE SURVIVED BLOW OUT ON I-95 OTHER THAN GREAT BRAKING SYSTEM ON CAR (UPGRADE) AND MASTERFUL DRIVING BY MY HUSBAND.
