The sidewalls on the front tires split on the outside and inside. I found the defect myself. Replaced the tires. I still have the old ones. The truck had only a little over 12K miles on it. The dealer blew me off.

Tires, gooyear Wrangler. Coming apart on the sidewall about 1/2 inch from the rim. First set were replaced and the problem persists with these new ones as well. Am I to expect a blow out to get some attention to this potentially dangerous situation.

Significant sidewall cracks noticed above the rim on three tires (fourth tire new after replacement from blowout two months ago). Wrangler St 215/75R/15. Tires have 30K miles and two years old. Goodyear store manager in college station tx said there is no safety issue with our removing tire from rim and inspecting inside of sidewall. Refused to consider problem as manufacturing defect. Did offer pro-rated replacement as warranty issue. Z8jb

My balljoints snapped while turning in my sons school one morning, resulting in my front wheel and brake assembly falling off completely from my 2001 Dodge Dakota 4X4 truck in December 2002. I had 1000 miles passed factory warrenty

At 8,000 miles one of the tires went flat. The vehicle was taken to the tire dealer which found all four tires (Goodyear Wrangler St P215/75R15) had cracks in the tire wall. The tires were replaced with the same brand of tire. Now the driver front and rear tires have cracks in the tire wall. The consumer filed a complaint with Dodge #11259201.

Sidewalls have split on all four tires which came new with the truck, two were so bad you could see the inner sidewall. The garage failed the truck on inspection, said the tires were a safety hazard. I did not misuse these tires no 4-wheeling, no heavy loads, no constant long distance travel; work was 10 miles one way. My mother spent a great deal of time on the phone with Goodyear and sullivan tire (the name Goodyear gave us as their authorized dealer). There was no satisfaction because Goodyear and sullivan insisted they could only pro-rate the tread on a replacement. The tread was not the problem!!! all four tires should have been replaced free of charge because they were a safety hazard. My mother paid $431.71 for four new tires, which is less than $100 under the price sullivan would have charged for four new tires. The tires should have been free of charge! I see from the complaints already submitted that this is an on going problem with these tires. Goodyear insisted they had received no other complaints on this tire. They obviously lied.
