TIRES

GOODYEAR REGATTA 225/65R16 SIDEWALL FAILURES - FOUR TIRES OF THIS BRAND HAVE FAILED ON OUR 1998 OLDS INTRIGUE. THREE ARE FROM A REPLACEMENT SET PURCHASED AROUND 2002, AND ONE OF THE PRO-RATA WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS JUST FAILED. THE FIRST THREE WERE FULL-ON BLOWOUTS AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT HITTING ANY BUMPS AND THE MOST RECENT WAS MULTIPLE LARGE BULGES IN THE SIDEWALL AND A FLAT TIRE DEVELOPED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH.

TIRES

POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE: ON AUG 15, 2006, I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 GOODYEAR WEATHER HANDLER TIRES FROM A NATIONAL CHAIN STORE. ON EXAMINING THESE TIRES, I SAW THAT 3 WERE MADE IN 2006 AND 1 IN 2004. (DATE CODES: MDXO WKHR 2806 - 2; MDXO WKHR 2106 - 1; AND MKXO WKHR 4304.) THE RUBBER ON THE 2004 TIRE DOES NOT FEEL AS "LIVE" AS THE RUBBER ON THE 2006 TIRES. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HANDLING AND TRACTION BALANCE OF THE CAR. THE 2004 TIRE IS ALREADY 40% INTO THE AGING CYCLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THE STORE TO REPLACE THE 2004 TIRE--FOR THE REASONS GIVEN HERE. THEY ARE NOT RESPONDING TO MY REQUEST. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT GUIDELINES THE NHTSA HAS ( OR RECOMMENDS ) FOR A SITUATION LIKE THIS--WHERE THE TIRES IN THE REPLACEMENT SET ARE NOT OF THE SAME AGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

TIRES:SIDEWALL

I HAD A SIDEWALL BLOW OUT WITH A THREE WEEK OLD DUNLOP TIRE WHILE MERGING ON TO AN ON RAMP AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE TIRE LOST PRESSURE IMMEDIATELY AND CAUSED TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE WEATHER WAS ONLY AND 30 DEGREES, AND I OPENLY HAD MYSELF AND EMPTY TRUNK CAR. THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED AT AN AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR DEALER AND INSTALLED WITH A SET OF EQUALLY SIZED FOUR TIRES. CORPORATE AND RETAIL GOODYEAR PEOPLE WILL ONLY REPLACE THE TIRE IF THEY CAN BE PROVED THAT IT WAS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TIRE, NOT WITH INSTALLATION OR ANY OTHER CHARATERISITICS. THE PREVOIUS TIRE ON THAT RIM WAS A GOODYEAR TIRE THAT LASTED 45000 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT, SO RIM DAMAGE APPEAR TO BE NOT LIKELY.
