Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2004 nissan maxima se 3.5 liter v6 with a manufacturer's standard tire size of p245/45r18. currently goodyear is having a manufacturer's defect on the tires listed above. the side walls on these tires are splitting and they are doing a recall on them...i guess they are going to reactive rather than proactive...just like firestone. i just wanted to let you know before someone was seriously injured or killed. the reason i am writing is because i have those same tires installed and they are splitting around the side wall and the only reason i know about this is the dealer stated that goodyear knows about the problem but is reluctant to initiate a recall...worried about dollars rather than saving lives. i am not talking about a small split but rather a split that covers almost 3/4 of the radius. thanks for your time and assistance. i really thought you and the general public needed to know before something really bad happened. *nm
