| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My tire went flat while driving, when i realized what had had happened and found a safe place to pull over about a quarter mile later, by that time the tire had split completely around the entire tire on the outside and the inside. thank goodness this happened just as i was merging on to the interstate, and i wasn't going very fast at the time. i was told later by the tow truck driver that these low profile tires split like that frequently by just driving a short while on it after it blows. i am very fearful of these tires now.(goodyear eagle rs-a 225/45r17. i was told my the manufacturer of my car vw that they didn't warranty tires on there cars. the local goodyear dealer told me that this tires didn't have a mileage guarntee, that the tires should go 50,000 miles. my car only had 24,000 miles on it. i am very disappointed in vw and goodyear and these tires. so much for so called performance tires. *ak |
