 Goodyear eagle rs-a emt (high performance all-season) - runflat re: goodyear eagle rsa tread separation (tire failure) i have a serious problem with the original tires, no modifications to vehicle, 2007 srt8 jeep grand cherokee both front tires developed an unnatural groove on the inner edge (where tread meets inner sidewall) causing tread separation and failure, actually at the same time. tire pressure when to zero. nothing was rubbing the tire, but looking at it you would think it is the only explanation. tread separation in my case happened at about 30,000 miles from new at about 40 miles per hour. i can send photos to anyone who wants them. there are many references to the same type of tire failure online over several years, one example being with an srt8 forum http://www.srt8oc.com/forums/showthread.php?p=211455#post211455

 The front tires have premature ware on the inner edge of tire, the result was tire separation. after only 16000 miles of use. i have the alignment checked an it was within factory specification. i had to purchase a new set of tires. old tires still in hand and have pictures of the tires.

 Tire wears on inside wall where tread meets sidewall on goodyear rsa emt tires i have gone through 4 tires now all with the exact same issue. goodyear has worked with me on pro-rating at a reduced price to replace. i am still unhappy with tires failing after less than 10,000 miles and having to pay to replace them.

 Front good year tires separating from the belt. car is in perfect alignment checked by dealer. hundreds maybe thousands have been reporting the same problem, all at around 20k miles. dealer failing to warranty them claiming that its normal on these trucks due to the suspension??? not my problem! do not plan on spending $460 dollars per tire every 20k miles. *tr

 I have a 2007 jeep grand cherokee srt8 and the front two tires have blown out with only 12k miles on them twice. once at 12k and again at 24k. there was a recall issued in 2006 for 2006 srt8 models but nothing for the 2007 model year. these tire have been determined unsafe in 2006, but the same tires and problems are happening in 2007. i had 2 wheel alignments done and both were ok. it is a tire issue that keeps costing me money and the risk to me and my family everytime i drive the truck. the tire is a goodyear eagle rs-a 255-45-r20 runflat tire. *tr

 Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep grand cherokee. the contact noticed a bulge on the sidewall of his goodyear eagle rs-a tire (p245/45r18). he spoke with a tire dealer who was unable to tell him where he might find a tire. the dealer stated that they would have to order the tire and could take four to five days to arrive. the dot # was m64ydver. the current and failure mileages were 13,000. the tire was determined to be defective
