 2004 dodge durango approx 6300 miles traveling on interstate at 65 mph right rear tire (goodyear sr/a p265/65r 17) exploded. once stopped after approx 400' to 500' found tire tread completely separated from sidewall on one side of tire only. completely inspected tire numerous times looking for cause of failure found no punctures cuts, etc. brought tire to goodyear tire store for replacement. upon returning for tire, was informed they had found puncture hole in tire. that had caused the tire to run low and the rim had cut the sidewall. i have the tire, the tire shows minimal abrasion on the failed side only. was informed by goodyear they are not aware of any other sidewall failures with this tire. investigated myself to find hundreds of the same complaints on the internet. regardless of the cause of failure,( if my tire did have a puncture at time of failure) it would seem inherently unsafe for a tire to have this kind of damage in such a short stopping distance. this tire was also inspected by two independent garages and they do not agree that the puncture caused the damage. luckily, my wife was not injured during this incident. *nm

 The goodyear wrangler sr/a on my dodge durango (oem) are a horrible and dangerous suv tire. these tires have no traction in wet or snow conditions, and even though the suv is awd, the tires hold the vehicle on the road. i checked various web site ratings on these tires to make sure i was not the only one who felt this way. as an example, tirerack.com, 1010tires.com all have numerous reviews that indicate these tires are awful and potentially dangerous due to their construction, tread design etc. i contacted goodyear and chrysler--neither are willing to do anything or accept any blame here. i now have to find a good set of tires in the odd size of 265/65/17 to put on my suv before i slide out of control in snow/ice this winter. its a disgrace. *jb
