| Goodyear tire tread separation on 2008 jeep grand cherokee srt8: both front tires (gy eagle rs-a 255 45r20- run flats) have delaminated leaving me to limp home when the left front tire suddenly went to zero air pressure and that's when i first noticed the problem. this is obviously a very common problem in this tire (see forum thread: http://www.cherokeesrt8.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24831&highlight=good+year+tread+separation) i saved the tires and have pictures. i also have alignment specs showing it was within guidelines. i have since replaced the tires at my expense with another brand. | |||
