THE CONSUMER STATED GOOD YEAR TIRES WERE PURCHASED UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE NEW.

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE AND HAD BLOWOUT DUE TO SPLITTING OF GOODYEAR EAGLE LS 2 TIRE WITH ONLY 28000 MILES. TIRES PURCHASED ON NEW 2007 BUICK LACROSSE WITH 0 MILES. COULD HAVE CAUSED WRECK AND POSSIBLY DEATH. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 9-6-20210 SAME SITUATION ON A SECOND TIRE. GOODYEAR WOULD NOT REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES EVEN THOUGH 2 BLEW OUT DUE TO SPLITTING OF TIRE. GOODYEAR ONLY PRO RATED THE TWO THAT WERE BLOWN AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL OTHERS BLOW. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS AND GOODYEAR NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE. IF THE OTHERS BLOW AND THERE IS WRECK OR INJURY THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT AND WANT IT NOTED THAT I HAVE REPORTED AND TRIED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT BAD TIRES. ONLY HAVE THE DOT # FOR THE SECOND TIRE ONLY BECAUSE GOODYEAR DEALER KEPT THE FIRST BLOWN OUT TIRE. I HAVE NOT LET THEM HAVE...

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN AND HAD THE BALANCE CHECKED AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. THEY SAY IT IS THE MAKE OF THE TIRES AND GOODYEAR IS AWARE - THEY HAVE MADE A GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES DUE TO HISTORY OF MY CAR.... THE ENGINE BLEW AT 1500 MILES!!! STILL NO BETTER. EVERY DAY I GET MY FILLINGS RATTLED LOOSE ON THE WAY TO WORK. THE PULL TO THE RIGHT WAS FIXED WHEN THE REPLACED THE STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT - BUT I HAD TO GO BACK BECAUSE THE DEALER DID NOT DO FRONT END ALIGNMENT AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING SHAFT "NOT NECESSARY - IT'S NOT THE STANDARD PRACTICE WITH THE JOB" WHEN THEY FINALLY PUT IN ON THE MACHINE, IT...
