Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2003 dodge 3500 drw and pull a 5th wheel once a month. tires are goodyear, wrangler sra, size: lt235/80r17 load rate e. i noticed an open crack on the sidewall of my front left tire and took my truck into a goodyear service center to have it checked out. they inspected it and said that all 6 tires should be replaced because of showing signs of cracking (on the sidewalls). to me this is an unsafe problem and i expected goodyear to replace them. no, i have to purchase new tires (they are prorating the bad ones). the tires had to be found in two different states because they did not have them in stock. i asked the service person if they see this a lot. his answer was he has seen it before. i contacted goodyear consumer relations and got the same answer. i checked the internet and these tires have a problem with the sidewalls. should be recalled and replaced with known quality tires. no incident occurred, saw problem before hand.*jb
