A GOODYEAR DEALER RE-BALANCED THE TIRES, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE SHAKE. WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER WHO THEN STATED THE TIRES WERE OUT OF ROUND AND COULDN'T BE BALANCED. THEY DID NOT ADVISE US TO REPLACE THE TIRES OR TO STOP USING THE VEHICLE. TWO MONTHS LATER, AFTER AN HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE TIRE SUDDENLY DELAMINATED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $3,000 IN DAMAGE FROM THE TIRE EXPLOSION. CONTROL WAS NOT LOST. LOOKING AT THE TIRE, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS THIS WAS THE RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. HALF OF THE STEEL BELTS ARE COVERED WITH A LAYER OF BONDED RUBBER. THE OTHER HALF OF THE BELTS ARE EXPOSED. THE SEPARATING LINE IS...
