ON 7 OCT 2000, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN OUTER SIDEWALL SEPARATION ON THE RIGHT FRONT (DRIVERS SIDE) TIRE (GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST ) OF MY 2000 DODGE DAKOTA PICKUP TRUCK. THE SEPARATIONS CONSISTED OF 3-4 SPLITS THAT WERE SEPARATED BY DISTANCE. THE SPLITS WERE FROM 2-3 INCHES LONGS AND THE DEPTH OF MY FINGERNAILS OR PERHAPS 1/8TH OF AN INCH. THE SEPARATIONS WERE ON THE PORTION OF TEH TIRE, RIGHT ABOVE THE STEEL TIRE RIMS AND ARE ARRANGED IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN. THE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE A SMALL LUMP ON ITS SIDEWALL. THE TIRE HAD ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I NOTIFIED GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SVC AT THE CORPORATION, CHRSYLER CORPORATION (CORP FILE #7828657), CHESTERFIELD DODGE, MIDLOTHIAN, VA (WHERE I PURCHASED TEH TRUCK DURING JUNE 2000) AND THE GEMINI GOODYEAR AUTO SHOP, HARBOUR DRIVE, MIDLOTHIAN, VA. THE GEMINI GOODYEAR AUTO SHOP REPLACED THE TIRE ON 10 OCT 2000. I NOTIFIED GOODYEAR CORPORATION AND CHRSYLER CORPORATION THAT I PREFERRED ALL TIRES TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A BRAND OTHER THAN GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST.
