| Initially in may 2002, i had to replace a rim on my 1999 chrysler 300m because it had cracked due to corrosion (this is what i was told by the technician who discovered it). now, in 2003, three of the four tires are leaking air to the point where they need to be refilled every week or two. when contacting the service center where i had the work done, they advised me that the 300m & town & country mini-vans seem to be experiencing the same type of problems as i'm describing. *ak | |||

| I bought a set of yokohama tires for my 1999 chrysler 300m in july 2006. we have several problems with these tires not holding air. finally, now, the right front tire blew 2 half dollar size holes in the sidewall of the tire for no apparent reason. we were able to keep the vehicle on the road as to not cause further damage. we have taken the vehicle to tires plus for the previous problems as well as this blowout. we will obviously be replacing all four tires and will not be buying this brand again. *jb | |||

| On 04/26/06, while at a sams club store, i noticed a large bulge in the sidewall of one of the two goodyear eagle ls 225/55r17bw tires that i purchased from walmart and had installed by walmart on 03/28/06. the tire was determined by a tire associate at the sams club store to be unsafe to drive on, so he removed the wheel and replaced it with the spare. i am taking the tire back to walmart on 04/27/06 to get a credit to be applied toward the purchase of a replacement tire. *nm | |||
