ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON A PR215 50R17,CHRYSLER, SEBRING, LSI 1998. CONSUMER NOTICED A BUBBLE ON LEFT FRONT, AND RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS CRACKING AROUND THE SIDEWALL.*AK

TRAVELING 60 MPH AT 12:45 PM ON I-95 NB IN MA, 2 MILES SOUTH OF EXIT 8. CLEAR WEATHER, TEMPERATURE IN MID 60'S, SMOOTH ASPHALT PAVEMENT. SUDDEN LOUD ROARING NOISE. I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT WAS SOME SORT OF ENGINE FAILURE, BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF REAR OF CAR. NEXT WERE VIBRATIONS AND SHORT LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I REGAINED CONTROL AND PULLED OFF TO RIGHT SHOULDER. BOTH SIDEWALLS WERE DISINTEGRATED ALL THE WAY AROUND, WITH ONLY A FEW CORDS AND BELTS HOLDING THE TOP PART OF THE SIDEWALLS AND TREAD CAP TO THE INNER PART OF THE SIDEWALLS ON THE RIM. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT PRIOR TO THIS THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY SORT OF DAMAGE TO THE TIRE THAT FAILED. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND BRAND OF TIRES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON THE TIRES, IN THE CONDITION THE TIRES WERE IN.*AK (DOT NUMBER: M6B2LNER TIRESIZE: P215/55R16)

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH, THERE WAS A BLOW OUT ON THE PASSENGER'S FRONT TIRE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE. TIRE SIZE P275/40ZR17. ORIGINAL TIRE EQUIPMENT ON A 1998, CAMARO. TIRE MILEAGE AROUND 26,000. ONE WEEK LATER OWNER FOUND TREAD TO BE SEPARATING FROM THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND BOTH REAR TIRES. GOODYEAR WAS CALLED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. CUSTOMER RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION FROM GOODYEAR. *AK THE DEFECT ON THESE TWO TIRES IS SIMILAR TO THAT FIRESTONE HAS ENCOUNTERED BUT GOODYEAR AND GM HAVE IGNORED THE PROBLEM. *YH

BELTS SEPARATING TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TIRE WENT FLAT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE STILL HAD 5/16THS TREAD DEPTH AND SO HAD LOTS OF LIFE LEFT. *AK( DOT NUMBER: MKHCFJDR TIRE SIZE: 195/60 R14 )

DUE TO VIBRATION 4 RIMS AND 10 TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. EVERY 30 TO 60 DAYS I'M AT THE DEALER OR SUPERIOR TIRE, I WORRY ABOUT ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16/6.5 )

TIRE RUBBER IS SPLITTING IN THE AREA WHERE THE TIRE AND WHEEL MEET LARGEST SPLIT IS APPX. 6 INCHES LONG AND APPX 1/4 INCH WIDE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 255/70/16 )

IF THIS FAULTY TIRE MANUFACTURING DESIGN WAS THE GOODYEAR TIRE'S PRACTISE THAT COULD CAUSE THE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, INSTEAD OF COVERING UP THE DEFECTIVE FACT, IT SHOULD BE BRIEFED TO FEDERAL AUTORITIES UNDER TODAY'S POLITICAL CLIMATE. AS THE LEXUS WAS THE COLLABORATED SELLER OF THE TIRES, YOU SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE ILLEGAL TIRE. *AK( DOT NUMBER: N/A )
