DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ORIGINAL TIRES OF THE VEHICLE HAD VERY THIN TREAD BELT AND A VERY SMALL NAIL CAUSED A PUNCTURE. THE TIRES ALSO WOULD NOT GRIPPED ON WET PAVEMENT AT ANY SPEED, CREATING SAFETY RISK DURING RAINY WEATHER. DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OBSERVED ON THOSE TIRES BY THE CONTACT THE TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 3000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE ALL TIRES AT ONLY 19000 MILES. THE TIRES MANUFACTURER DID NOT WARRANTY IN RELATIONS TO MILEAGE. THE TIRES WARRANTY PROVIDED REFERRED ONLY TO PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING. GOODYEAR MANUFACTURED THE EAGLES SS. *AK

THE SUBJECT TIRE WERE ON A CHRYSLER 2003 PT CRUSIER . THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS APPX 12000 MILES AROUND JAN 2005 ON AND THE TWO FRONT TIRES DEVELOPED BUBBLES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR NOW HAS 20000 MILES (JUN 2005) AND AGAIN THE TWO FROM TIRE HAVE BUBBLE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER SAID THE BUBBLES WERE CAUSED BY GOEING THRU POT HOLES WHICH I THOUGH LOGICA; AT THE TIME. BUT IN LESS THEN SIX MONTHS BOTH FRONT TIRE HAVE BUBBLES AND NEED TO BE REPLACE. IS DOES SEEM ODD THAT IT ALWAY BOTH TIRE. IT SEEM TO ME THAT THE TIRE ARE DEFECTIVE, THE CAR HAS A DESIGN FLAW OR THE TIRES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS CAR. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A IT IS JUST A MATER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE TIRE BLOWOUT AT HIGH SPPED AND KILLS SOMEONE.
