I HAVE A 1998 BUICK PARK AVE. PURCHASED AT MY DEALERSHIP: BRUNSWICK BUICK PONTIAC, 1120 ROUTE 18 NORTH, EAST BRUNSWICK NJ, 08816, PHONE# 732-651-4110, MR. JOSE PASCUAL (SERVICE ADVISOR), WITH ORIGINAL GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES SERIAL NUMBERS: 0606, 0610, 0615, 0623 ON THE VEHICLE. AT APPROX. 41593 MILES, MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE ABOVE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A GASH APPROX. 5" LONG ON THE 'INTERIOR CAUSED BY A DISPLACEMENT OF THE TIRES STEEL BELT, AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION BY THE SERVICE REP., I WAS TOLD THAT THE OTHER THREE TIRES WERE ON THE VERGE OF A SIMILAR FAILURE. HAD THE FAILURE NOT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT ON THE HIGHWAY I MIGHT NOT BE WRITING THIS. I CONTACTED A MR. TOM D. AT GOODYEAR (732-821-4700) REFERENCE # 671401, AND WAS TOLD TO BRING ALL FOUR TIRES TO A GOODYEAR DEALER WHICH I DID AND WAS TOLD THE DETERIORATION WAS DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT I TOLD GOODYEAR THAT NO-ONE WOULD BUY THESE TIRES WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE BELTS WOULD COME APART AT APPROX. 40000 MILES. I CONVEYED THEIR COMMENTS TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DID NOT AGREE WITH THIS CONCLUSION AND IS HOLDING THE FOUR TIRES FOR A G.M. REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE TIRES. IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO REPLACE THE TIRES PREMATURELY AT MY EXPENSE AS I HAD MORE NORMAL USE OF THE EXISTING TIRE RUBBER. I AM SEEKING: 1- REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST $409.53 OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENTS FROM GOODYEAR, AND 2- TO APPRISE YOUR AGENCY OF THIS CONDITION AS RECOMMENDED BY A BUICK G.M. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE MS. KELLLY BRISTOL, PHONE # 866-952-4368, X58036, SERVICE REQUEST # 1-172024374, SO THAT ANY OTHER PERSONS HAVING SIMILAR TIRES CAN HAVE THEM EXAMINED FOR POSSIBLE DEFECTS.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ALL FOUR GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES THAT CAME INSTALLED ON MY BUICK PARK AVE HAVE TREAD SEPARATIONS. THREE OF THE FOUR TIRES HAVE OPEN SEPARATIONS. EXPECT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. TREAD SEPARATIONS DEVELOPED OVER SOME TIME.

TIRES
I WENT TO HAVE BRAKES SERVICED AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE VISABLE TREAD SEPARATIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN IMMEDIATE BLOWOUT ON ANY ONE OR ALL TIRES. I BELIEVE THIS MUST BE THE RESULT OF MANUFACTURERING DEFECT(S) FOR ALL TIRES TO HAVE SAME TREAD SEPARATIONS. HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS TIRES BEEN REPORTED IN OTHER INSTANCES? DT
