Consumer Description

ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27TH ABOUT 1:00PM, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE EXPLODED AND WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. I DROVE TO A NEARBY BY GAS STATION TO AWAIT MY MOTOR SERVICE TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I PHOTOGRAPHED THE DAMAGED TIRE. ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27H, GOODYEAR REPLACED THE TIRE AND STATED AGING WAS A FACTOR IN THE TIRE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE SERVICED BY THE SAME GOODYEAR STORE ON FRIDAY JANUARY 23RD AND NO MENTION OF AGING OR REPLACING THE TIRES WAS STATED BY GOODYEAR. I STILL HAVE TO REPLACE THREE (3) OF THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
