| I have a 2006 saturn ion, it came standard with goodyear assurance tires. within 25 thousand miles, the tires began to balloon, blister. i had one explode on the highway, the remaining 3 soon began the same process of blistering. i replaced all four tires with the same type of tire from goodyear, assurance. once again, within 25 thousand miles, they began the same process, ballooning and blistering. i replaced all four with another type of tire for my families safety. the tires were replaced at discount tire company in tyler texas, on broadway ave. i tried talking with goodyear, and they would not acknowledge there was a problem with the tires. please investigate these tires, they are defective. i have gone through 8 tires. the first replacement occurred december, 2006, the second run on replacements was april, 2008. *tr | |||
