THIS IS AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE APPARENT FAILURE OF THREE OUT OF FOUR GOODYEAR ASYMMETRIC TIRES. FIRST ISSUE WAS A BUBBLE FOUND ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK LATER THE LEFT FRONT TIRE LET LOOSE A THIN VERY LONG RIBBON OF RUBBER FROM THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TREAD. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE LEFT REAR INNER SIDEWALL BLEW OUT IN TWO PLACES LIKE A BURSTING BUBBLE. THESE TIRES HAVE THE SAME DATE CODE AND WERE PUT ON THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF PRIOR TO THE FIRST FAILURE. THE TIRE WITH THE DELAMINATED RUBBER RIBBON WAS REPLACED AT THE TIME AT MY COST BEFORE I REALIZED THERE WAS A PATTERN HERE. I HAVE CONTACTED GOODYEAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME OR REPLACE THAT ONE OR THE OTHER DEFECTIVE TIRES. ALL OLD TIRES ARE AVAILABLE AND IN MY POSSESSION. THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR ALL THREE TIRES...SAME DOT NUMBER SAME DATE CODE... *TR

AFTER ROUTINE DRIVING I FOUND A LARGE "BUBBLE" OR BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALK OF MY GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 245 40R19 TIRE.. I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING WITHIN BUBBLE OF OVER 2 INCHES LONG. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE INCLUDING A RECALL OF THESE TIRE AS THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IS A SERIOUS SITUATION. *TR

BOTH FRONT TIRES SEPARATED ON THE INSIDE EDGES OF THE TIRES. HAD NOTICED IT WEARING THIN AT AROUND 13 THOUSAND. HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED, AND IT WAS IN PERFECT SPEC. AROUND 15 THOUSAND, I NOTICED A VERY THIN SPOT AND HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AGAIN, AND THE ALIGNER TOLD ME THAT THE METAL WAS SHOWING THROUGH, AND THE TIRES WERE ABOUT TO SPLIT APART. HAD THE TIRES CHANGED FOR ANOTHER BRAND ON ALL FOUR CORNERS, AND HAVE NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS SINCE AFTER 22,000 MORE MILES. STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL FRONT TIRES FOR REFERENCE OR INSPECTION, AND ALL ALIGNMENT SHEETS. BEING AN INCIDENT FROM OVER A YEAR AGO, I AM NOT 100% SURE ON THE DATES. *TR
