Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON THE PAVED PORTION OF NEVADA STATE ROURE 290 AT ABOUT 50 MPH. THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. ABOUT A 10 INCH LONG PORTION OF THE TIRE JUST SHREDED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GOODYEAR DEALER HE REFUSED TO MAKE GOOD ON IT. HE CLAIMED I HAD RUN OVER A CURB OR SOME OTHER OBSTACLE. I HAD NEVER RUBBED A CURB, LET ALONE HIT ONE, OR HIT ANY OTHER OBSTACLE. I FIGURED IT WAS NOT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN CARSON CITY WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GOODYEAR TIRES. FIRESTONE HAS BEEN RACKED OVER THE COALS. I TINK IT IS TIME TO, AT LEAST, INVESTIGATE GOODYEAR TO SEE HOW SAFE THEIR TIRES ARE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRESIZE: P265/75R16)
