While having a routine maintenance performed, consumer was informed that 2 of the 4 tires were coming apart, one of the tires was replaced with the spare tire, the consumer was shown in 3 places on the interior of the sidewall of the tire the outer rubber layer had separated, or was about to separate from another layer.(Goodyear conquest gl P185/65R14)
The original equipment tires on my 1997 Ford Escort station wagon are cracking on the inside sidewall or have cracked through to expose the steel cord. I have contacted the dealership who said that they do not warranty the tires and there was nothing they could do. I have contacted the local authorized Goodyear dealer where they inspected the tires and indicated that the failure looked like a manufacturing defect. They said that Goodyear would authorize them to give me a partial credit for the tires if I replaced them with another set of Goodyear tires but that they would not excahnge them for new tires at no cost.
