Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I noticed recently a vibration in the steering wheel while driving. from past experience, i thought one of the tires needed balancing, since i did not feel any problems with the brake rotors. i went to have the tires checked, and the goodyear dealer said the tires had a defect in the belts. he recommended replacing all 4 tires, because he said they all looked bad. i made an appointment for the next day (10/12/01) to have them replaced, but wouldn't you know it, i went to drive to work on the freeway on 10/11/01 and the rear passenger side tire blew up. i think that goodyear should replace these tires at "no charge" instead of pro-rating them, but that probably won't happen without a recall right? i would not want this to happen to anybody else driving on the freeway. what if they have bad tires, but did not notice any vibration like i did? can these tires blow up without any warning to other drivers?*ak (tiresize: p215 70r15)
