Consumer Description

THIS IS A "LOAD RANGE E" GOODYEAR TIRE PROBLEM. AT 30081, 30805, 35213, AND 38060 MILES ONE EACH OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES FAILED DUE TO SIDEWALL SEPARATION AND WAS REPLACED AT VARYING CHARGES BY GOODYEAR. NOW, AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT TIRES HAS FAILED FOR THE SAME REASON. GOODYEAR IS GIVING ME A "RUN AROUND" AS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN ALL PREVIOUS OCCURANCES, VARIOUSLY CLAIMING THAT THE TIRE IS "NO LONGER AVAAILABLE" "ON BACKORDER" "NO LONGER MANUFACTURED" "NOT ADJUSTABLE" ETC. IT HAS NOW BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE THE LAST FAILURE WAS SHOWN TO GOODYEAR, AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION OF EACH OF THESE SITUATIONS, DEALER NAMES AND LOCATIONS, AND AM READY TO ASSIST YOU IN WHATEVER WAY IS APPROPRIATE.*AK (DOT NUMBER: UNKNOWN TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)
