I HAVE FOUR GOODYEAR WRANGLER SILENT ARMOR TIRES ON MY PICKUP TRUCK. ONE TIRE WENT FLAT DUE TO TEARS ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. SO I THEN INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND TEARS STARTING IN EACH OF THE OTHER TIRES AS WELL AS THE RUBBER IS PEELING OFF THE SIDEWALLS LIKE SNAKESKIN. THEN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS MY STEERING WHEEL AS BEGUN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 40MPH. TWO OF THE TIRES ARE FALLING APART AND BEGINNING TO GET BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS. THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THEM AND ARE ABOUT 2-3 YEARS OLD. I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR STORIES TO MINE ABOUT THESE TIRES AND ALL OF THEM OCCUR AROUND 25,000 MILES BUT GOODYEAR WARRANTY'S THESE TIRES FOR 50,000. I HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH GOODYEAR WORKING WITH ME. PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM THESE TIRES EXPLODING AND ITS TIME FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE AGAINST THIS COMPANY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2010 KIA FORTE WHICH CAME WITH GOODYEAR LS2 TIRES, SIZE 215-45 17. IN THE THREE YEARS AND 25,000 MILES WE HAVE USED THE CAR, FOUR OF THE GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE DEVELOPED BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALL. THIS HAS RESULTED IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE FOUR TIRES. AT THE TIME THE THIRD ONE NEEDED REPLACEMENT, I REPLACED IT WITH A DIFFERENT TIRE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. THIS TIRE HAS PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY ON THE CAR WITH NO BUBBLES WHATSOEVER. RECENTLY, I NOTICED A NEW BUBBLE ON ONE OF THE GOODYEARS STILL ON THE CAR. THIS TIRE HAPPENS TO BE ONE THE SAME SIDE AS THE REPLACEMENT TIRE FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. I BELIEVE THAT THE GOODYEAR LS2 TIRES MAY HAVE A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION. RESULTING IN SIDEWALL FAILURE (BUBBLES) WITH NORMAL USE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE THREE REMAINING GOODYEAR TIRES ON THE KIA WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. *TR
