My child and I were traveling. We were getting off an exit to put some gas.That exit was a bit Icy with snow but when we saw it was to late to stop. On that exit their was a huge pot hole impossible to see and for me to stop in time, my speed was 35 mph and slowing down on the exit. When i went down the exit and hit the pot hole it sounded horrible my son started to panic and i pulled over right away. My tire pressure light turn on as soon as we hit the pot hole. I was very lucky that a man saw everything and came to help. He has stated that the same thing had happened to his wife the day before. My original tire was a Nexen 235/40R19 Dot UAM3 CMBR 1921.
I purchased 4 x Michelin Sport A/S Plus 225/50R17's in December of 2017 and have driven those set of tires 30,000 miles on a 45,000 mile tire. My car started wobbling and so I checked the tire and found severe wear in the INSIDE wall/top of both of my rear tires. I had to purchase two new tires because I felt it was not safe to drive. I have included a picture and you will see there is tread left on the tire and worn uneven. I also feel these tires are faulty and could cause an accident.
GOODYEAR DOT MMFUJNR33815 GOODYEAR TIRE MTS/235/45R18 94V. SECOND TIRE I HAD TO REPLACE ON NEW FORD FUSION (NITROGEN). 1ST THE WHOLE SIDEWALL COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM TIRE. SERVICE DEPT. AT FORD SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE. SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TIRE. NOW I HAVE A GOLF BALL SIZE LUMP ON MY SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. NO APPARENT REASON. IT IS TIME FOR GOODYEAR TO BE INVESTIGATED & REIMBURSE CONSUMERS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE. I FOUND THE DEFECT BEFORE ANY BLOWOUT OR ACCIDENT.
FACTORY OEM GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2S CLAIM TO BE ALL SEASON. FROM THE FIRST TEST DRIVE THESE TIRES FAILED TO HAVE ANYTHING CLOSE TO REASONABLE TRACTION ON SNOW AND ICE, RESULTING IN THE SALES-REP BEING BARELY ABLE TO BACK THE CAR OUT OF THE LOT FOR A TEST-DRIVE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WASN'T THRILLED ABOUT THEM. AFTER GETTING THE CAR ONTO THE ROAD, IT SEEMED TO DO BETTER, SO I WENT AHEAD AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AFTER OWNING IT FOR LESS THAN 48 HOURS, HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH STOPPING, CORNERING AND ACCELERATION WHERE THE TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-LOCK BREAKS ALL FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, JUST THE TIRES NOT HAVING ANY SORT OF REASONABLE GRIP OR TRACTION. IN ONE INSTANCE, I SLID THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT 5MPH. IN ANOTHER INSTANCE IT TOOK ME MOST OF A MINUTE TO GO THROUGH A SINGLE-LANE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE FRONT TIRES WERE TURNING SO SLOWLY...
I HAVE A 2014 FORD FUSION THAT COMES WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES. IN THE 14 MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR , I HAVE HAD 2 TIRES BLOW OUT. PRIOR TO THIS CAR I NEVER HAD A FLAT TIRE, NOW I'VE HAD 2 . THE FIRST BLOWOUT WAS AT 1000 MILES AND THE SECOND TIRE BLEW OUT AT 8000 MILES. BOTH HAPPENED ON ROADS WHERE ALL THE OTHER CARS DROVE BY WITHOUT ISSUE. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT HOW EASILY CONTINENTAL TIRES BLOW OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AND ALSO THE TIRES WERE ALMOST $300 EACH TO REPLACE. BOTH FORD AND CONTINENTAL SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT AND ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. ALSO THE TIRE WRENCH THAT COMES WITH THE CAR BENT WHILE TAKING THE LUGS OFF, FORD REPLACED IT ONCE, THE REPLACEMENT ONE ALSO BENT WHILE...
