Consumer Description

IN NOVEMBER 2013 AFTER DRIVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS LEFT REAR EAGLE RSA FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO KNOWN CAUSE OF FAILURE OTHER THEN IT JUST BLEW OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN. TIRE WAS REPLACED ABOUT A WEEK LATER WITH ANOTHER EAGLE RSA. LAST NIGHT (JANUARY 2014) WAS DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS AND THEN GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN AGAIN THE TIRE BLOWS BUT THIS TIME THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF CAR BUT STILL THE REAR WHEEL. DURING THIS BLOW THE CAR SWERVED MOMENTARILY BUT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND THEN I HEARD THE NOISE INDICATING IT HAD BLOWN. IN NEITHER CASE WAS THERE AN INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE BEFORE IT BLEW INCLUDING THE TREAD DEPTH. BOTH TIRES HAD BEEN ON THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR (CAR WAS BOUGHT NOV/ DEC 2012 AND NEW TIRES WERE ON THE CAR WHEN BOUGHT) AND HAD LITTLE WEAR ON THE TREAD DEPTH WHEN THEY HAD BLOWN. *TR
