GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

5 TIRE FAILURES IN 24 MONTHS AND 26833 MILES. 2 WERE "BROKEN TREAD" FAILURES AND 3 WERE FLATS. OF THE FLATS 2 WERE IN THE SAME TIRE WITHIN 1 WEEK WITH NO OBVIOUS NAIL OR OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE TIRE. AS A RESULT I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE FIRST "BROKEN TIRE OCCURRED AT AROUND 7700 MILES, THE SECOND BROKEN TIRE AT 10700 MILES. FLATS OCCURRED AT AROUND 7800 MILES AND 26800 MILES. *TR

TRAVELING FL TURNPIKE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. TYPICAL WEEK-LONG HEAVY RAIN IN MAY WITH STANDING WATER. DODGE RAM 1500 WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP 275/60R20" TIRES. I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH DUE TO RAIN AND STANDING WATER IN A 65 MPH ZONE OF THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN THE TIRES LOST TRACTION AND I HYDROPLANED. THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. BEING A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER OF A FIRE TRUCK I USED PROPER CORRECTIVE TECHNIQUES TO COMPENSATE AND AVOID ROLLOVER AND AVOIDED OTHER VEHICLES. I CRASHED INTO THE RIGHT SAFETY GUARD RAIL. CRASH CAUSED DAMAGE TO FRONT BUMPER AND BOTH FRONT/REAR 1/4 PANELS. AFTERWARDS I LOOKED UP THE REVIEWS OF THIS TIRE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF INADEQUATE TRACTION DURING WET CONDITIONS AND SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.

ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27TH ABOUT 1:00PM, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED AND WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. I DROVE TO A NEARBY BY GAS STATION TO AWAIT MY MOTOR SERVICE TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I PHOTOGRAPHED THE DAMAGED TIRE. ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27H, GOODYEAR REPLACED THE TIRE AND STATED AGING WAS A FACTOR IN THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE SERVICED BY THE SAME GOODYEAR STORE ON FRIDAY JANUARY 23RD AND NO MENTION OF AGING OR REPLACING THE TIRES WAS STATED BY GOODYEAR. I STILL HAVE TO REPLACE THREE (3) OF THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TIRES WITH TRACTION RATING A, TEMPERATURE RATING B, AND WEAR RATING 740 WITH MILEAGE WARRANTY OF 80,000 MILES HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 38,407 MILES. TIRES HAD POOR TRACTION AND TREAD ON OUTSIDE OF TIRES WAS WORN TO 2/32", BUT NOT ON INSIDE. TIRES WERE ALWAYS KEPT AT RECOMMENDED PRESSURE, ROTATED REGULARLY, KEPT BALANCED AND VEHICLE ALIGNMENT WAS KEPT IN GOOD STANDING. TIRE DEALER RECOMMENDED KEEPING THE TIRES AT 40 PSI FOR MORE EVEN TIRE WEAR AND TO MAKE THE TIRES LAST LONGER, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE RECOMMENDS THE TIRES BE AT 33 PSI (FRONT) AND 35 PSI (REAR) FOR COLD WEATHER. *TR

PURCHASED 2013 MONTANA 5TH WHEEL TRAVEL TRAILER EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON 235 80/R16 TIRES. AFTER FIRST TIME OUT WE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES ROUND TRIP. AFTER RETURNING HOME I INSPECTED THE RV AND NOTICED BUBBLES ON THE FIRST TIRE DRIVERS SIDE. I REPLACED BOTH TIRES ON THAT AXLE WITH TWO TOW MAX. IN JANUARY 2015 WE WERE PARKED IN ST. GEORGE, UT. I DID A WALK AROUND AND NOTICED TIRE CORDS HANGING OUT OF THE SECOND TIRE BACK ON DRIVERS SIDE. I REPLACED THAT TIRE BEFORE TRAVELING. ON THE WAY TO KINGMAN AZ, JANUARY 12, 2015, ON HWY 93 WE HAD A BLOW OUT ON THE REMAINING GY MARATHON TIRE. THE BLOW OUT RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE TRAILER. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF GY WHEN THE FIRST PROBLEM AROSE. GY SAID THEY HAVE A 6 YEAR WARRANTY. NO TIRE SHOP I HAVE BEEN TO WILL CONSULT WITH GY ON THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD NEVER PUT THESE TIRES ON ANY VEHICLE AGAIN. THESE TIRES HAD UNDER 4,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 8 IN AZ TRAVELING AT 65 MPH THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON MY MONTANA 5TH WHEEL RV AND DAMAGED THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER. THE TIRES HAD ONLY ABOUT 7500 MILES ON THEM AND THEY WERE GOODYEAR MARATHON ST235/80/R16. THE TRAILER WAS NOT OVER LOADED.THESE TIRES SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN THAT.I STOPPED IN YUMA, AZ AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. *TR

I WORK IN A TIRE SHOP AND IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE HAD TWO 2013 IMPALA LT'S COME IN WITH PARTIALLY SEPARATED TIRES. BOTH WERE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2'S, SAME SIZE, AND SAME DOT NUMBER. SEPARATION WAS IDENTICAL ON BOTH VEHICLES.CUSTOMERS REPORTED THAT THEIR TIRE HAD A SLOW LEAK IN BOTH CASES. UPON CHECKING THE TIRE I NOTICED BOTH TIRES HAD UNEVEN WEAR AND WERE SEPARATED ON THE SHOULDER. TIRES WERE BOTH REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THE PARTIAL SEPARATION. *TR

I PUT NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX ON MY 2008 NISSAN QUEST ON 04/27/2012. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS BLOW OUTS AND SLOW LEAKS. I HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS. I JUST REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH MICHELIN BRAND AS I COULD NOT GET 10,000 MILES WITH OUT A BLOWOUT ON THE GOODYEARS. ALL TIRE FAILURES WERE DUE TO SMALL SPLITS IN THE TREAD OR SIDE WALL. *TR
