| I bought my suburban with goodyear tracker ii tires on it from the dealer in dec 06. in april 07 a tire was flat. it had a small slice in the sidewall of the tire between the grooves. nothing had touched or scraped against the tire to cause it. i bought another one from walmart as they are only ones able to get and sell them. i had taken the wheels off for the summer and put them back on in sept 07. in march 08 on this new tire, it had a leak in the grooved section of the side wall near the tread. again nothing punctured it or scraped it. because i couldn't change the tire at the time i had to put a plug in it to get home. these are very poorly made and should not be allowed. i have never had any other tires get small slices in the sidewall. i could understand if i hit a pothole, curb, nail, something. but the first tire was 3 above the ground and this one was about 1 above the ground. i have about 5,000 miles on this tire with alot of tread left that is now garbage. *tr | |||
