| As i was driving down the road my tire started going flat. after changing the tire and putting the spare on i noticed that where the tire went flat there had been separation from the outside tire and the inside of the tire rubber. i noticed that both my wrangler goodyear p265/70/r17 tires had bubbles in them where the tires are separating in the middle of the tread. the tires dot number is 4bt6 fder 0610. this is definitely a manufacturing defect and should be looked into. the tires are on a 2010 chevrolet 1500 pickup. *tr | |||
