 I have had two tire failures, the most recent in march 99 and the prior in september 98. both tires were goodyear regatta tires that had between 13,000 to 18,000 miles (rated for 65,000). in each instance, the tires failed while driving at about 70 mph. he tread peeled off the tire and the sidewalls burned/smoked and deflated. in 40 years of driving, all kinds of tires/all kinds of cars, i have never had one tire destruction in this manner--now i have two. is there a manufacturing defect with goodyear regatta tires? thanks, john p. murray, ph.d. professor and associate vice provost for research, kansas state university, 101 fairchild hall, manhattan, ks. 66506-1103 email: jpm@ksu.edu tel. 785-532-6195. *ak( dot number: tire size: 14 )
