| Original date of purchase 9/18/2010 original tire: dunlop rovers lt 265/70r16 load range c da8d633v2709 goodyear/mr. tire auto cedar bridge ave store # 1014 brick nj 08723 (732)477-3480. customer id# 1014013051 $892.82 on july 14,2011 i was making a right turn onto main street in toms river when the left front tire exploded, and a few seconds later the right tire also exploded. i drove about 100 feet to a parking lot to look at the damage. on the inside of both tires there was a large gash about 5 inches long on one tire and on the other tire there were 2 different gashes about 4 and 5 inches long. i put a spare on one wheel and had a hard time getting the 2nd wheel off so i hit it with the lug wrench. i took that tire to a nearby sts and bought a cheep tire $171.00 and put it on and drove home. two days later, saturday july 16, 2011, i took the truck to goodyear where i purchased the tires less then a year ago. they told me because the back of the rim was scored it must not have exploded, it must have been cut in a carwash. they charged us $85.41 for 2 new tires. they told us this did not happen on the road it had to have happened at a car wash. this truck has never been to a car wash since i have had it several years. i had them replace the 2 bad tires with goodyear wrangler sr-a | |||

| While driving my 2003 dodge dakota pick-up on the expressway my rear left drivers side tire had a blowout. upon stopping and inspection, the tire had a side blowout with only 15,775 miles of wear. this tire came with the vehicle when i purchased it new in april 2004. i did not hit anything on the roadway and was driving the speed limit of 55mph. i had been driving for about 25 minutes on the expressway when the blowout occurred. i still have the tire and am concerned that this was caused by a defect which caused the side tire blowout*ak | |||
