| Goodyear wrangler hp p275/60-20 tires. purchased used 2006 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4x4 with these original equipment tires (32,000 miles). in may 2009 had a tire failure; blowout at low speed following exit from interstate(33,000 mi). goodyear dealer advised that goodyear would classify the failure as road hazard and would not replace the tire. purchased 1 new tire of same kind and immediately had balance and unusual wheel hop. appealed to goodyear who replaced the tire. replacement tire had similar balance issues. selected location on vehicle with least impact to drive-ability. during fall 2010 (40000 miles) began to notice left rear vibration as though tire was out-of-round. on feb 10, 2010 discovered left rear had belt separation and large bulge. steel belts are extruding out of tread. in process of mounting spare noticed apparent belt and tread separation on spare. four of six tires have had issues. am replacing all tires. no more goodyear's, ever! *tr | |||

| Product quality defect- poor product quality of goodyear wrangler tires recently created unsafe driving conditions for myself, my family and other motorists. due to the radial band separation issue in a goodyear wrangler hp tire (size p275/60/20) the tire created excessive bouncing and wobbling of the tire at speeds over 40 mph creating inability to control my vehicle on the highway. i had the tire replaced immediately (with a bridgestone tire) and the issue was resolved. when i contacted goodyear quality dept. they asked i have the tire inspected by a goodyear dealer, which i did, and the dealer confirmed the radials where /compromised/broken in numerous places. goodyear did other a $45 rebate on my next goodyear tire purchase which i declined as i will not place my families safety and well being in their trust any longer nor will i be purchasing goodyear tires. the tire had approx 15000 miles on it with ~50-60% tread left. (confirmed by the goodyear dealer.) no explanations or apologizes were offered by gy which displays their disturbing lack of business savvy. i have 3 vehicles in my household and will no longer support such business practices by purchasing unsafe products. i have seen several safety concerns with this tire on internet blogs but thought it best to officially post to nhtsa. i also observed information regarding product safety claims by the steelworkers union (link on your website) regarding the safety/quality of goodyear tires around the same time by vehicle was produced. (not sure if my tire was produced in the same factory) i would like a formal complaint issued to goodyear if feasible and/or at least acknowledgement of receipt. thank you for your time. (goodyear claim number 1089986). *tr | |||
