| I have a 2002 e350 ford ext sd van that came with oem goodyear wrangler ht lre 245/75r/16 tires. the veh was obtained new in june 2002. since new the tires sidewalls were cracked and dry, after driving on them a while the sidewalls had minor bulges, and more cracks. the tires were rotated/bal/and proper psi at all times and were never overloaded. the tires were replaced with michelin ltx/ms at 33k miles. these tires should have been replaced under a safety improvement campaign by goodyear at their expense (nhtsa campaign id nr 02x001000 dtd 28 jan 2002). i was not notified and the campaign expired, leaving me to replace the tires at my expense. by not notifing me goodyear saved a bundle but it left me in danger of a possible blowout/tread seperation or even a crash. when i did find out about the replacement campaign i went to my local goodyear dealer and all they offered was to sell me the same tire at an inflated price compared to sam's club or wal-mart. needless to say i will not be shopping for goodyear tires in the future. | |||

| (1) normal tire rotated every 3000 miles run with 55 lbs. front 85 lbs. rear checked weekly (2) side wall on both inside and outside dry rotted to point of air pockets are forming on outside of tires. (3) tires replaced with bridgestone v-steel r265 i went to two different goodyear dealers 1st in ormond beach fl the service manager said that is not a problem it is cosmetic! 2nd goodyear dealer in bridgeville pa agreed the tires were bad and a danger to ride on, and offered a sixty-two dollar discount on new tires (with the discount the goodyear store would have been $242.00 higher, than sam's club for the same tires without a discount) the two dealers were about eight months apart.*ak | |||
