| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have goodyear marathon st 225/75/15 d tires on brand new (may 2007) 2007 carmate 24 foot trailer. i drove the trailer to salt lake city (slc), back to frederick, md, than back to slc. so, with about 8,000 miles (july 14 now) on the tires - i notice "air bubbles" in the sidewall just above the rim. i call local goodyear dealers, and none have the tires in stock (i do hear though that this is a common problem with these tires, several non goodyear dealers tell me that they have immediately taken these tires off due to issues with these tires). i decide to put the spare tire on (also a marathon) and continue my journey to sierra vista, az. near price, az i notice another "air bubble" in a different tire. not wishing to take a chance on a blow-out (no good spare tire left) i buy new tires (big o this time), because there are no marathon tires in stock in price, az. arriving in sierra vista, az i talk to the local goodyear dealership about these tires. he acknowledges that this seems to be a problem with these tires, but can not help me because he is not a "authorized" goodyear dealership any longer. due to new job and house hunting i let the replacement issue drop for awhile. september 20, 2007. i have perfomed searches on the internet, and while not seeing the issue with "air bubbles" i see plenty of issues concerning "blowouts" with these tires (were there air bubbles first?). i call goodyear hq and am given a case number and a tucson dealership to take the tires too. overall i am writing this letter/complaint to say that: 1) there seems to be a known problem (at least among the public and dealerships (goodyear & other manufactures)) with these tires. 2) (dependent upon the outcome tomorrow) goodyear seems to be willing to work with me on the defective tire issue. *tr |
