Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I would like to report a problem with goodyear tires. my vehicle is equipped with goodyear wrangler lt235/80r17 all terrain tires. my tire dealer indicates that these tires are less than 4 years old based on the manufacturers code date, yet all 6 tires have splits in the side wall due to "rotting" according to my tire dealer. some of these splits are very deep, up to 1/2" wide and 4" long. i have never had this kind of problem with any other brand of tire. the vehicle is driven every day, and i care for the tires by maintaining proper inflation and doing regular rotations. if i'm not the only one having this problem this could become a serious situation, for had i not followed proper tire maintenance procedures on my truck, i would have never been aware of the impending tire failures, as the deep cracks were all located on the inside of the tire out of normal view. *jb |
