Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought the 04 nissan maxima in december 2004, and in september . 2005 i took the car to have the tires rotated. i was informed by the local goodyear tire dealer that two of the tires had cracks in the sidewalls. because the car had only 10,000 miles goodyear replaced these two tires under the original warranty. now, in 2007 with 40,000 miles on the car the other two original tires have sidewall cracks. of course goodyear will only give me credit for the wear left on the tires , and a new tire cost $300. we have decided for safety reasons we were not going to replace these tires with the goodyear eagle size 245/45r18v. this seemed to be a similar problem as ford and firestone had with the explorer several years ago. why has the public not been informed about the nissan/goodyear tire problem. my conclusion was fewer of us own nissan vehicles than fords. so, if the tires cause a couple of us to have wrecks that was just the price of doing big business. *ak
