Flat tire. Side wall has slits right next to the rim of the wheel. After obtaining a flat tire I had my garage man check the other 3 tires and they all were the same, with slits in the sidewalls. Unsafe to drive on.

The sidewalls of all 4 of my Wrangler St tires are failing at the seams, and at the same time. The service manager at my Goodyear store called it "flow cracking" and said "that is not good". the tires are original to the truck installed during it's production. The following is additional information found on the tires: Dot M6hf fkwr 258, there is a number and letter, E13 enclosed by a circle, another number located on tire is T302962-gpf-95-mms, there is a number 100S and the letters bs, another number is 026951 M+S, Goodyear is replacing the tires under the warranty on a prorated basis as a result of this defect in the tire. The local Goodyear store is edwards auto service center 13936 jeff-davis hwy woodbridge va 22191, 703 494-7181. Fax 703 494-5140, they said it'd be a week before the replacements arrive. I submit this as the start of any paper trail should this Goodyear tire defect, be a Prelude to a situation as occurred with Firestone and the Ford Explorer. (dot number: M6hf tiresize: P215/75R15)

The tire failed on the inside side wall with a sudden blow out leaving a 4" vertical hole. The Goodyear dealer blamed it on a road hazard although I never hit anything in the road, the failure appeared to be on a seam of the tire.to date the manufacturer or dealer haven't resolved the issue..
