Goodyear Tires Reviews

I've been into Countryside Ford dealership (where I purchased my Explorer) 4 times in regards to faulty tires. I still have under 12k miles on it. The first 2 times I went in, they stated nothing was wrong with my tires, filled them up, pat me on my head and said that were fine. The 3rd time, I took my husband with me. 1 tire had a nail and another had a bad valve. Both were repaired. Less than 2 months, I go back again. The tire that had the valve replaced has lost pressure 2x since my last visit. They told me there was damage on the wall and need a new tire! Less than 12k miles, I need a new tire, and it's not covered. He kept assuring me that I must have punctured it with a nail (on the side wall?). I advised him that I've been coming over the course of 6 months complaining about tire pressure problems and that the tires are defective. My in-laws have 2 Explorers, same tires, bought from same dealership experiencing the same problem with their tires. The tires are all Goodyear. Ford nor Goodyear are willing to look into this matter. They expect you to buy all new tires and place the blame on the consumer.

I was told that my 2005 Cadillac SRX needs ALL four tires replaced before I can pass inspection. I currently have 22,760 miles on it. Dealership & goodyear store told me that this was 'normal' for a performance tire. I told them no way and proceeded to read the horror stories online regarding these tires. Apparently, they are used for all the high end vehicles, but when you are paying so much for the car initially, you don't expect to have to buy tires at 22,000 miles. It will cost me approximately $1200 to $1300. That's a price I'd be willing to pay at 42,000 miles not 22.

I purchad a new Toyota Corrolla on May 7, 2008 in Chicag IL. as of today I only have 4549 miles on this car. I have had nails and screws removed from all four tire's. These tires's seem to pick up every thing on the roadway. Now Toyota suggest a new right rear tire. This last nails was in the side wall.

Sidewall failure involving Goodyear Assurance line of tires (rated for 80,000 miles). Four new tires were installed in September of 2004. In October of 2005 at 20,000 miles, the driver's side front tire developed a tennis-ball size separation in the sidewall. The tire was prorated and replaced with another new tire of the same variety. At 55,000 miles (September of 2008), the replacement tire failed in the same manner as its predecessor. With regard to the tires that did not suffer sidewall separation, each tire had to be replaced before having passed 60,000 miles of usage. There are two issues of concern here: 1) that none of the tires got beyond 75% of their advertised life expectancy (all tires wore evenly and the vehicle has no evidence of wheel alignment problems); and 2) two of five identical tires failed in the same unusual and unexpected manner -- both tires failed with sidewall separation (one on the inside, and one on the outside) on the side of the vehicle away from any incidental contact with the curb, and the vehicle is driven only on paved roads.

Our 2205 Buick Terraza was bought 3/07/06 and last summer around 25,000, our two front tires went partially bald and my husband put them on the back and rotated our tires. THey have been increasingly getting worse. The car shakes, the tires are all 4 cupped and worn and today, I was told by dicount auto that one tire was split and I noticed cracking on the sidwalls of the other back tire.

Been using Goodyear service for approximately 13 since here in NC. Once they changed over to their own credit card system from a loan agency of the contracting store we initially obtained credit for tires and automotive service; then started the exploitation of by servicing agent with connection to their providing credit card servcies. They took advantage of service provided, damaged articles and falsefied needs for repairs or did inappropriate service or incomplete service; several times taking an attitude toward my questioning of service provided to belittle, degrade and humiliate me publically and thru contact with agencies I tried to obtain assistance to resolve matters with appropriate consideration of all involved. They insulted and were unreasonable when their service which was to have been warranted, in demanding I take the car elsewhere and not come back to their shop. My reason was they had damaged the vehicle in repairs and repairs were done incorrectly and they were politely requested by me to check what I was speaking of.

I bought a new 2009 Toyota Corolla on May 31, 08 that and new Goodyear tires which already came with the car. After only driving it 990 miles, I had a problem. While trying to park the car in front off my house, with a speed that doesnt exceed more than 2 miles per hour, my right back right tire hit the curb. What happened next was amazing, for, in a matter of seconds the entire wheel had deflated and contained a large tear as if it was a piece of paper I have two other cars with old tires that have hit the curb many times while parking and nothing has happened.

A under a year ago, I went to GoodYear/Sher Tire, Inc. store to get new tires. I bought tires with the 50,000 mile warranty. I had to get tires early due to my prior mechanic not rotating my tires as needed. Upon getting the tires I was told with the tires the rotating service was included, so as long as I brought them back there I wouldn't have the issue again.

My daughter took her 2001 Pontiac Grand Am to the Goodyear place and to resolve the overheating problem. It cost me $1319.12 to fix this problem. They replaced the water pump, the thermostat and gasket, both upper and lower intake gaskets and did a cooling system flush. She drove away from Goodyear and her check engine light came on and she heard some noise. She called Goodyear but it was closed, so she faxed them the problem. They told her to bring the car in and they'd fix it. The proceeded to tell her she had a transmission problem and it would cost $792.12. The estimate stated the mounts were broken and that's why she hears the sound and it doesn't drive as it should.

Brought my car in and asked if they could check the left front tire for a possible leak. Was told they found a nail and in such a place that tire could not be repaired and I needed a new tire. Asked to see tire. There was a small nail in the center of the tread on the right tire. When the nail was pulled, of course the air came out. I said I had no problem with the right tire, it was the left. Said they found nothing with the left. So I drove off with a $141 new tire and the resolution to never return to this store. The previous week I had monitored all 4 tires and the only one that lost some air was the left, not the right.

07/05/08 1997 Nissan Maxima had both front axles, both front stabilizer bar links, left rear brake caliper, left rear rotor, and rear brake pads replace totalin $1,059.01. When I called they answered the phone as Goodyear. When I brought my car and asked Ralph if the work would be covered at any facility in teh country he said yes, so I had the work done.

On Friday July 11th, 2008, I took my car to Goodyear for a possible wheel alignment and oil change as it was only 4 blocks from my job. I figure it will be done by noon and I can pick up my car. The dealership that does the normal car service is over 30 minutes away across town. I dropped my car off at 8:30AM with Goodyear. One half hour later a Richard calls me to inform me they pulled a nail from my driver left rear tire and fixed and it cost $19.99. They also found that my fuel, brake, and transmission fluids were all dirty and that my car system needs to be flushed. Note: they have yet to know my distrust in these finding as I had a system flush less than 3 months prior and my fuel system had a complete flush on my last oil change with the dealership.

On May 21,2008 I went to have my oil changed and tire rotated at Goodyear in Cypress. I own a 1999 Toyota Camry, that was given to me by my grandparents who were the original owners. The car has 94,900.miles origial miles. They gave me the car in September of 2007. They called me an hour later and said the car was done. I started it and it was making a tap tap noise. I live a block away from Goodyear, when I got home I asked my dad to listen to the noise. He said maybe it needs time to lubricate the motor. I prceeded to work down Los Alamitos Blvd about 2 miles from my house and found a Napa Auto Parts, I pulled in and asked the sales representative if he could come out and listen my car. He listened and said maybe it needs this lubricant Lucas oil treatment ,it helps lubricate rods, valves and bearing.

They finally found the problem... a bad spark plug and a bad wire. I was not charged for the spark plug or the wire, but I was charged for all the work that was not necessary. $173.00. I was upset when I dropped it off and when I came back to pick it up they had three guys towering over and the mechanic glaring through the window. No apologies were made. I will never go there again. Lost wages. Charges that were not necessary

I have a P.T Crusier with 18,800 miles. The front left tire lost pressure a couple of times so I put air back in. My wife was driving the car and said she was hearing a flapping noise and the steering wheel was shaking. I look at the tires and did not see anything wrong. The next morning the left front tire was flat. I thought there was a nail in it so I removed it and noticed there were cracks in the tire wall next to the car side. I checked the other tires and two more of them had the same cracks. I went to the Goodyear dealer and showed him the tire I removed and they checked the other tires. After 45 minutes the manager had worked up a price of replacing the tires. He stated that the tire that was flat he would not give any adjustment because it was worn on the outer edges and the threads had separated. I tried to give him my view that the split in the side wall was the reason the tire kept deflating and led to the outer wear. The other tires did not have the outer wear but had the inside wall slits. He gave me a price of 230.00 and no adjustment for the flat tire and minimal adjustment for the two others. He said nothing was wrong with the fourth tire. It came to a total of 707.00 for the three tires not counting tax. The price surprised me so much I blurted out ****. He then said he didn't cuss at me and I would not cuss at him. I tried to explain that the comment was not direct toward him it was just I was so surprised that was the first thing that came out. I apologized twice but I was still trying to understand why I was not getting a better adjustment on tires with just 18,800 miles. With no explaination he then told the mechanic to let the car down and back it out. He then said he didn't even have the tires and would have to order them. I told him I would get back with him. I went to sears and they had the tire on sale for 165.00 but would have to order them. I really did not want the Goodyear tire so I bought four replacements at a cost of 570.00. I went back to the Goodyear dealer and told him I would not be buying the tires from him and again I stated that my comments were not direct to him and he started to get agitated and shaking his finger at me.I told him that he needs to have customer relation training to deal with frustrated customers rather that telling their employees to back his car out. Other wise get out. I feel that I was due a fair adjustment on the tires but was giving the attitude of take it or leave it. I have read several memos on the web site of people reporting the same defect but also was given the run around. I did ask the store manager what would cause the splitting and he said I don't Know and I have not heard of this problem before. You would think he could give me some reason why the tires would split, even if it was somting I should correct. These are dangerous tires that Goodyear seems to be covering up and will not acknoledge that there is a problem that could lead to a serious accident. The tires are Goodyear Eagle RSA 205/50R17. They are the original tires that came on the car.

On 5/12/08, I took my car in for a tune-up. They took out my platinum spark plugs, replaced them with plugs of lesser value and failed to 'cap' them. They also failed to return my used parts. When I left, I noticed that my car was running worse than it was when I took it to RyNck. I took it to another mechanic and they told me that the person that fixed my car failed to 'cap' my spark plugs which made my car run rough. I wound up paying someone else, 'I have proof', to fix what they messed up.

I recently had a tire blow out on my 2007 Chrysler minivan, which was just prchased in October 2007. The shop that put a used tire on the vehicle, as a temporary fix, stated that the tire unexplicably split near the tread. I am in the process of arranging for a new tire, but after reading other complaints about bubbles in Goodyear Integrity tires, I am wondering if this could be a widespread defect?

coming home from Utah, after a great one week vacation, I was almost killed as my tire blew-out during a transition from I-15 to the 95 southbound (commonly refered to as 'the spegetti bowl') during rush hour traffic. GOD was with me is the only way to explain how I'm writing this today! I brought the tire (which I still have) to several Goodyear dearlers who commenced to do the corporate shuffle on me.My lawyer is bigger than yours said one goodyear manager.

Subject: Goodyear Integrity tires with sidewall bubble near tread. I purchased a Toyota Prius in August of 2007 and to date, we have driven it just under 12,000 miles. The car was equipped with Goodyear Integrity (P185 65 R15). Last week I noticed a bubble (about the size of half a walnut) on the sidewall near the tread on the left front tire. I took the car to a local Goodyear dealer. They removed the tire from the wheel and pointed out a small dent on the inner wall of the tire, and informed me that this problem was an impact wound. Only I and my wife drive this car and neither of us can recall ever hitting any potholes or curbing.

In 2004 I bought 4 tires, P225/60 R16 Goodyear Assurance. Since I am a retiree and don't drive that much I thought they would last 5 or 6 years, but within 2 years 2 of the 4 tires failed with a blowout of one and failure of another, with the final two showing signs of sidewall failure so ey had to be replaced. I have never before hard of 4 tires failing on the sidewalls, but it happened to me. The tires were not old when I bought them, they were made in 2004 and were only 2 mo. old when I bought them. Why should something like this happen? Unfortunately I never contacted the company, I just thought they were 2 years old so I had no recourse, but it seems unfair to me.

I have a 1998 Mazda Protege fit with 4 Goodyear Integrity tires since 2005. I may have about 30,000 miles on them. There are still enough tread on all 4 of them and I passed the MA state safety inspection at the beginning of 2008. From day one I found the tires are extremely slippery in dry but especially in wet condition, a bit more on throttle or brake and I will hear a lot of tire screeching. But as long as I drive it very gentle and don't have any accident I don't pay much attention to it. But thing did happen. Yesterday 5/31/2008 I was driving at 30 mph in wet and slided all the way into the car in front which was at least 10 car length away, without being able to stop the car at all. Luckily no one was hurt. This was initiated by a car at very front took a quick stop for a left turn, all other cars behind could stop without problem except my car. It brings to my concern as I read through many online reviews and most have similar complaint against the Goodyear Integrity tires, one had even the exact same accident as mine. This leads me to believe the poor tire performance could be one of the major reason to my accident, as I have a clean record over my 7 years' driving and I consider myself a safe and defensive driver. I wonder if there is somewhere that I can have an official tire performance test. If it is proved the tire performance is below some legal standard I may file a claim/complaint to Goodyear. But I am not sure how this can be done exactly so I need a helping hand here. The accident is already filed by the local Tewksbury MA police. There should be many people are riding on these tires so it is good if we could raise concern about the safety and quality on these tires. Any advice on this is very welcomed! Thank you.

I took my 2005 Chevy Aveo in for an oil change on April 18, 2008. The car was driving just fine prior to my taking it in for service. Upon my departure I got approximately a mile and half away then suddenly my car shut off. I didn't have my cell phone with me that day of all days so I proceeded to walk (in my work clothes and heels) back to Goodyear. When they saw me coming and sweating they were very sympathic and agreed to tow my car back to their shop, however they said it wouldn't be until later that day. I had to call a friend to come and pick me up and take me home. Goodyear later called me and informed me that it was their fault and they would repair my car. They said they had to order a part but it wouln't be in until the following Tuesday or Wednesday. I inquired if they could cover the cost of a rental car but they said they couldn't. I informed them that I still needed to get to work everyday. Ultimately my mother rented a car on Saturday (April 19th) for my use until my car was repaired. She originally only rented the car until Wednesday April 23rd since Goodyear had told me that it would be ready on Wednesday at the latest. My car ended up not being ready until late Friday (just before 5pm) so we ended up with a rental car bill of $243.50 because my mother works 40+ miles from home and she couldn't get to the rental location before they closed on Friday and she didn't return the rental until Monday April 28th. On Saturday I noticed that my engine light came on and the car was driving a bit rough whereas it wasn't before all of this happened. My boyfriend drove it as well as my father and they all agreed that it didn't drive the same as before. On Monday I called Goodyear and they told me that my car needed a tune up but I decided not to take it back to them to have a tune-up. I drove it back and forth to work that week and took it to Midas a week later (May 8, 2008) and had a tune-up done which cost me $455.36. They (Midas) asked me if I needed an oil change and I informed them that I did not since I'd just had one done by Goodyear. The engine light was off but came back on again the next day and they car drove better but still not the same as before the initial oil change. My dad got fed up and he and a friend who works on cars checked the oil and found out to their astonishment that there was NO OIL in the car. Goodyear drained the oil out in order to replace the new part and they had forgotten to replace the oil. I'd now driven over a week with no oil in my car. They were called immediately and informed of this matter and I told them that I wasn't putting any oil in it and that they needed to come to my house to tow it to their shop. They picked up my car the next day and I had to get a ride to work from a neighbor for 2 days while they had my car. They replaced the oil at no cost to me sent me on my way. The car is driveable but that engine light keeps coming on and the car is just not driving the same as before. I fear that their was some damage done to my engine.

I was comming home from a night shift and my alternator belt broke near Blanding Blvd and 103rd. The nearest auto shop was Goodyear and I took my vehicle over there. The manager advised me that my whole components pertaining to the alternator should be changed which included the alternator belt, the alternator and the water-pump. I did not had the money for changing the waterpump but got new alternator and the belt for aprox $950.00

I took my car into their service center at 7 am to get my left, driver's side front ball joint replaced. I spoke with David and he told me my car would be ready for pickup by 5 pm that same day. Around 3 pm, I had not heard from them so I called and spoke with Pam and she also stated my car would be ready that same day as they were working on it. I also asked her to have them check the previous work done on the right ball joint as I was hearing noise from that area. Around 4:30 pm, Jim called me and said one of their mechanics was sent home as he was having heart palpitations so my vehicle would not be ready until tomorrow. I informed him that I had to go to work the next day so I needed my car by no later than 12 noon. He told me that it would be ready by then. The next day I called around 10 am and spoke with Jim again. He told me they were working on my vehicle and it should be ready by 12 noon. I again told him I had to go to work so I needed my vehicle by then. Around 11:30 am Jim called me and said they wouldn't have my vehicle ready by then. I told him I needed my vehicle as it is the only one I have and I had to go to work. I informed him that I was told when I dropped it off that it would be ready by yesterday. He said they would try to have it done by 12 noon. At 11:50 am, Jim called me and said it would be ready by 12:15 pm. When I picked my vehicle up, I paid by check. I spoke with Pam and asked her if they'd checked the right ball joint. She stated Jim drove the vehicle and heard some noise but he thought it was the left ball joint making the noise.

The manager told me my Honda Element was out of alignment and that my tires were 'scalloping' in the back and needed to be replaced.

The treads (belts) were separating on one and completely separated on the other.

About a month ago I bought a new set of Eagle Tires for my Chevrolet Impala from Mock Tire in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As soon as I left the lot I noticed an obvious vibration and it got worse at higher speeds. It felt like the tires had flat spots However, before I returned to the dealer I had a four (4) wheel alignment on my car just to make sure that wasn't the problem. I have been out of town for 3 weeks, so I returned to the dealer yesterday. The owner drove my car and noticed the same vibration. He said he had replaced the exact same size and lot Goodyear tire on another car earlier in the week. So, he gave me full trade in credit and I put a new set of Michelin tires on my Impala. Now the car rides like it is suppose to, on a new set of tires. I am writing this to let you know I am very disappointed in Goodyear and their tires. I am 43 years old and I have always bought Goodyear tires for my vehicles. However, that has now changed due to the obvious manufacturing defect and/or poor quality tires I received. Michelin will now be my tire of choice!

I purchased a 2005 Nissan Maxima not yet three years ago. Last year, after driving my wife and son to their destination, I noticed a big bulge in the sidewall ofone of the front tires, as well as cracks in the sidewall. A day later, I saw that the OTHER front tire had the same problem! I would have to buy TWO almost four hundred dollar tires on a two-year-old car!

I bought my Dodge and was quite pleased. I have maintained the car according to the manufacturer's manual. However, the car was sold with a Goodyear product: the wrangler ar/s tire series. I suffered a blow of a tire that is not even 1 year old, the tread is good, yet I know that two more tires were rotated inward to hide the defect in the tires' sidewalls. I almost lost my life as well as those of two other children in the vehicle. I do not want money, but I expect a replacement tire or a $100 rebate from the manufacturers who deem safety as a joke and money in their pockets because the consumer is stupid or they think they've gotten one over for now. This seems to be a manufacturer who uses inferior products to produce public safty hazards at ridiculous prices.

I purchased a new set of tires from a Goodyear dealer on Feb. 14th. On Sunday, March 3rd, I went to work, and I had a flat. I checked the tire, and it had a piece of gravel embedded in it. I took it back to the dealership, and they said they could only give me half off a new tire. So I contacted the Goodyear Company, and I spoke with a Miss Jannell; she was rude and very obnoxious. I told this lady that Goodyear Tires was supposed to have a better quality tire than this: a piece of gravel should not be able to puncture a tire that is less than a month old. I gave $850.00 dollars for this set of tires. She said they do not cover a puncture. I feel this is not right; there should be something I can do about this. Please let me know if there is. Thank you.

My truck came with Goodyear tires. I noticed it had a vibration so I have taken it to a dealer who told me it was the tire causing the vibration. I called Goodyear and was told to take it to a Goodyear dealer. I took it to 4 different places. Only one took the time to take the tire off. On 3 of the 4 tires there are places ballooned out on the tires. I called Goodyear back and was told to take it to another tire place. I took the truck to Appalacian Tire. The man said the same thing the other person told me. I have yet to hear from Goodyear about this. It is a hazard because if the tire should blow out, someone could be hurt. I am tired of putting miles on my truck and getting no results. Your help is much appreciated.

I recently purchased four Goodyear triple tread tires from Sears. I noticed immediately that there was an imbalance at highway speed and took it the next day to Sears in Johnstown where they they balanced again all 4 tires. During highway speed again the imbalance continued to show up and I returned to Sears where I bought the tires and proceeded to balance them again. The imbalance condition continues at highway speeds and I conclude that there is a defect in the construction of one or more of the tires. I now regret not purchasing the Dunlap H rated tires for $50 less a piece at Pep Boys. I would warn consumers against purchasing the Goodyear triple tread.

I replaced all 4 tires on a 2000 S-10 with 205/75 R15 Regatta 2 tires approx 2 1/2 years ago. The tires had 28000 miles on them. On inspection the two front tires had seperation on the inside sidewall of approximately 4 inches and 2 inches each and 3/8 inch deep. The tires were well maintained and still had 60% tread. The dealer made an adjustment and I purchased 2 replacement tires. I feel that this is a safety issue on that tire. Not much cooperation from goodyear. I have purchased Goodyear tires as long as I can remember, I think that I might need to re-evaluate that based on the response from Goodyear. The dealer replaced the tires on a roadhazard warranty and not a manufacturing defect because of the paperwork

The engine is leaking again, top and bottom gasket. After 40,000 miles it is leaking, and there is oil in the coolant. My car is 1999 Monte Carlo, 3.0 engine. I spent almost $1,000 in repairs.

GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA TIRE: My front tire developed a crack on the side wall. One person there was noncommital. Another (very young) technician at the Goodyear dealer took a look at this and said the car hit a pot hole. The road side serviceman had no hesitation in calling this a defective tire. Myself, a mechanical engineer and owner of many cars plus once a fleet owner am calling this foul. My problem is the willingness of the technician to try to dismiss this as accident, when this a defective tire (in use on a high end car) and could have been the cause of a bad accident. He is taking the line of blame the customer in spite of the serious safety issues associated with this issue.

I purchased 4 Goodyear Fortera HL tires over the internet. I estimate I saved about 50% over the local dealers. Upon finding one of the tires defective, I have been given the runaround by the dealers, and the Manufacturer. I try to buy American to support our country, and it backfires on me.

I took my new 07 corvette to this shop to get 2 new tires. They damaged a wheel when changing the tire. I pointed out the damage to the owner (he would not tell me his name), and he said he would not pay for it.

I operate a fleet of vehicles in my Florida Keys limousine business. My fleet includes two 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8s which came equipped from the factory with Goodyear Eagle RSA tires size 24545ZR20 and / or 25545ZR20. During 2007 we have experienced NINE separate tire failures (two catastophic failures) due to tread separation on these tires.

I bought tires or f$400.00. The next weekend I had oil all over my tires and driveway. I went back to Goodyear and they checked it. The man came back in and said of course it's leaking, we didn't put the screw back in Then the manager went on talking fast saying they didn't touch the strut that it goes out by itself. I had to pay $300.00 more for a new strut, driver's side. I cannot afford to do 2 or 4 struts. I feel they took advantage because I am a woman.

Ref: Goodyear Wrangler AT/S P/N M7602A844006 31X10.50R15LT 109R While cleaning the vehicle I noticed a tire cleat missing. On closer examination a couple of inches away I noticed a vary fine line. This was not a cut but a crack in the rubber. I took the vehicle to the above listed dealer and he told me that I did not have road hazard insurance and that the tire had been cut. The tires have 4,200 miles when I noticed this. There are no cuts on the tire. Needles to say I replaced the tire with another brand. I will never purchase Goodyear tires again. I wonder if they would have compensated me had the tire blown apart and seriously hurt my self or family.

Our Nissan Maxima came with Goodyear Eagle 245/45ZR-18 tires. All four tires developed deep cracks in the sidewall. Goodyear mailed us a letter and asked us to send in the orignal receipt showing the tires were replaced due to the cracks. We had the manager of the tire store sign and provide a business card validating the claim. Goodyear said we do not provide adequate proof that our tires were replaced for the cracks. Had to replace a $600 set of tires way too soon.

I purchased a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse with goodyear tiresEagle RS-AP215/50r17 and last year, the left passenger developed a lump. Thinking probably we hit something on the road. Took it to goodyear on Mission St. in Hayward Ca. and recommended that it be replaced.

Just recieved a letter from Goodyear stating they were refusing to compensate me for the replacement of the faulty tire on my 2004 Maxima, because I failed to provide an original reciept stating the reason for replacement was due to cracking of the sidewalls. Though I did provide them with documents from Nissan Dealership stating that all 4 tires needed to be replaced at 36000 miles.

My tires developed a circular crack on all four tires, more evident in two tires than the others. Nevertheless, due to safety issues, I have to replace all four tires at 18000 miles of driving. My car has been serviced at Nissan dealerships and rotated three times. As I was driving on an outskirt highway my front left tire completely tore to shreds. As I looked at all four tires, each had a circular diameter of breakage.

First, I took in a Jeep Grand Cherokee at 40,000 miles last week to Goodyear because I had a flat tire. They told me that 2 tires were shot and 2 were 'not far behind.' I told them I would like to replace the two tires that actually needed to be replaced. They then told me about this 'great deal' they had, but only on four tires. If I bought only 2 tires, I was going to pay a ridiculous price, which he showed me on his calculator. Four tires would not be much more. I was in a hurry and said, fine. Replace all four with the same thing. Second, within a week my wife got a flat on her Honda, also with Goodyear tires. The tire still had lots of tread as it had less than 20,000 miles on it. She took it to the same place for a simple repair and was told it was not repairable due to damage to the sidewall and of course she would need to buy a new tire. I called them because it was a small screw hole toward the center of the tire. I was told Goodyear does not allow them to plug tires at that shop. Because, I am a sucker and always in a hurry, I told them to throw on the new tire, but to send the old tire with my wife. Sure enough, when she got home I looked at the tire and there was a tiny screw toward the middle of the tire, absolutely no threat to the side walls. I'm having it patched and saving it.

With 5k miles on Goodyear Eagle LS tires, the low tire pressure alert illuminated and 10 seconds later, the tire completely depressurized resulting in the vehicle becoming inoperative. The tire was shredded.

2004 Nissan Maxima with 35k miles. Equipped with Goodyear P245/45/18 RS-A. Awoke on the morning of Dec 14, 2006 to a flat tire on passenger front. Replaces with dougnut and have tire checked to be plugged. Air leaking from crack on car facing sidewall. Upon further inspection all tires has sidewall cracks, some of which protrude to the inside of the tire, some as long at 2 feet around tire.

Presently own '05 corvette and since day one have had problems with front tires cupping. Alignment and balance checked frequently and always within specs. Need to put the fourth set on the front and the second set on the rear are still in greatshape (50% tread left).Car has 58K miles.

I purchased a 2004 CTS from Lund Cadilac in Phoenix in Feb. of 2004. I began to have a problem with the tires at 13,000 miles. I now have 19,000 miles.When I took it to Discount Tire they said it was Cadillac problem. When I took it to Cadillac they said it was Good Year problem.The last place I took it is when I talked to Nicolas Marquez. He said the tires are bad and Cadillac should never had put them on that car. He also said their isnt any thing he can do about it except sell me some more at 140.00 each.Of course I didnt accept that.He said nothing will change the tires.He said I could talk to Head Quarter. But that's all he can do. The car sound's like a TRUCK.He said nothing will change that except new Tires.

All four Goodyear Eagle RS-A P245/45R tires on my 2004 Nissan Maxima developed deep sidewall cracks at 24000 miles. Nissan refulsed t honor any warranty and sent me to Goodyear who would not honor a defect warranty,but offered 25% discount on new tires. The cost was $250.00. Upon searching internet found that other owners of Nissan Maxima and Altima using these tires experienced the same problem at about the same mileage. Goodyear claims underinflation. That was not the problem in my case. Tires rotated and checked every 3000 miles.

Herewith, I would like to draw your attention to some very unfortunate problems that I experienced with Goodyear Eagle tires (245-45-18), mounted OEM on my 2004 Nissan Maxima SE. The problem is the following: All 4 tires on my Nissan have developed serious cracks, both on the inside and on the outside of the sidewalls. The tire problems started on or about 15,000 miles, and manifested themselves by incresase noise (thumping). The overall tread wear has been very modest on these tires and, more importantly, evenly distributed. In other words there is no excessive tread wear, neither is there wear on the shoulders due to speedy cornering or faulty wheel alignments. As a matter of fact, the vehicle has always been serviced at an authorized Nissan dealership and the tires have been regularly rotated as per instructions contained in the Nissan Owner's Manual.

Bought a new 2003 1 ton dually. It had a set of Goodyear Wrangler's, load range E. Replaced two tires with about 18,000 miles do to the side walls cracking. Had to send tires in for inspection to the Goodyear store in Spokane. They said the tires were not replaceable do to owner neglect. Do to either low presure or over weight. Neither of which was the case. I checked with the local tire store and they have seen the same problems with those tires. So consumer beware.

I was driving my 2005 Dodge Durango on the highway when the right rear tire sidewalls blew out. The tire only had 8000 miles on it. They are Wrangler P265/65R17 SR-A. I took it to the manager of the Goodyear store in town and was told that it had blew out because I had ran it I the rim. I tried to explain that at 70 mph that of coarde I ran it on the rim to get the car stopped safely. I received no compensation for that tire. Last week the left rear tire blew out, the tire had a large crack at the top of the tire's tread and sidewall. only 14040 miles on this one. again no satifaction with a rebate.

My PT Cruiser is a 2003 Turbo that came with Goodyear Eagle RS A tires. With 35000 miles on the car the sidewall started to shred. The local Goodyear dealer said the tire had run its coarse, gave me $50.00 for the 2 bad tires and put two new tires on the car. One year to the day later, 3 of the 4 tires are shredding on the sidewall. The Goodyear dealer says sorry but the warranty says...

I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler. In 1999 and at 68,000 miles, I decided that I needed new tires. I went to Levine Tires and because of a bad and similar experience 10 yrs before, I was hesitant. I told them that I had problems 10 years ago with their inability to balance tires and after 3-4 return trips back then, they admitted that they had an old machine and now had a new one. So, I now bought 4 new tires and I increased the size and nothing was said to me about a problem until I drove the Jeep and couldn't make sharp turns. They acknowledged and replaced with the same size as before.
