| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased 4 new goodyear fortera tires 8/2004 and had freeway blow outs on 3 of the 4 tires with less than 15,000 miles on each tire. blow outs occured 2 in may and 1 in june. i replaced the first 2 again with fortera tires, but after blow #3 i requested that goodyear prorate all tires so i could replace with another brand but they refused. given this experience i believe these tires are defective and should be tested and possibly recalled. the dealer could not detect why the tires failed due to damage from freeway blow outs and having to drive off of the freeway before stopping. |
