GOODYEAR TIRES Complaints

STOPPED AT REST STOP ON I-4 CHECKED TIRES EVERYTHING OK. TRAVELED 18 MILES TO I-75 HEADED SOUTH ABOUT 10 MILES WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP NEXT TO US AND POINTED BACK AT OUR FIFTH WHEEL AND SAID TIRE. PULLED OVER AND TIRE WAS LOW. A ROAD RANGER STOPPED AND TRIED TO PUT AIR IN TIRE AND WE HEARD AIR COMING OUT OF TIRE, SAW TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. SECOND TIRE FROM THIS GROUP TO SEPARATE. NHTSA ID # 10625115. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY. DRIVER FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, LEFT THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER. SIDEWALL OF TIRE BLOWN OUT AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. IN BOTH CASES THE SIDE WALL HAS BLOWN OUT. *TR

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AT 65 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. GOODYEAR WRANGLER LT265/75R16. THE SIDEWALL WAS BLOWN OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 (NA) WEEKEND WARRIOR RV EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR MARATHON TIRES, SIZE: 235/80R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE MIDDLE DRIVER AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRES BLEW OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE OTHER TIRES PREVIOUSLY BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES FROM MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2014. WITHIN TWO WEEKS I HAD TWO FLAT TIRES FROM THE TIRE SENSOR LEAKS. ACCORDING TO TIRE TEC THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SERVICING RUBBERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE A TIRE IS REMOVED AND REPLACED THE RUBBERS ARE USUALLY DAMAGED BY BENDING THE RUBBERS THUS CAUSING THE LEAKS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ADVISING OF SENSOR WARNINGS AND PROBLEMS WITH KEEPING AIR IN TIRES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS UNIVERSAL TO ANYONE WHO HAS A VEHICLE WITH THE ELECTRONIC TIRE SENSORS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. SO I HAVE HAD TWO OF MY SENSORS REPLACED. THE OTHER TWO OF MY TIRES CONSTANTLY LEAK AIR. *TR

WE WERE 4 HOURS INTO OUR VACATION WHEN THE GOODYEAR MARATHON 235/80/16 ON OUR 2011 MONTANA 5TH WHEEL BLEW. THE DAMAGE WAS CLOSE TO $2000, MESSED UP THE TIRE WELL, RIPPED THE BELLYPAN AND MESSED UP THE SLIDE OUT. GOODYEAR WILL PAY OUR DEDUCTIBLE, BUT WON'T HELP WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE REST OF THE CHINA BOMBS UNDER OUR CAMPER. VERY UNHAPPY WITH GOODYEAR AND MONTANA. *TR

HIT A SMALL POTHOLE AT LESS THAN 10 MPH APPROACHING INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THEN TIRE MASSIVE FAILURE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN SPEEDING UP TO 70 MPH NEARLY CAUSING FIRE. HAVE DRIVEN 50 YEARS AND HIT MANY POTHOLES WITHOUT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN WE HEARD A POP AND THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD BLEW APART IN THE TREAD AREA. VERY UNUSUAL. WE HIT NO HOLES. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON THEM. GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A 255/75/17. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. *TR

THE TIRE WENT FLAT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A 5 - 6" SEPARATION IN THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. TWO TIRE STORES CONFIRMED IT APPEARED TO BE SEPARATION DUE TO MANUFACTURING. *TR
