Vehicle belongs to my mother but I am writing for her. We were driving to hospital to visit dad when I noticed that the vehicle wanted to pull to the right. Asked my mom to take the car in to see if it needed an alignment. She took it to our local goodyear dealer in milton. The tech there said the tires were bad and showed her the tires, the tread was coming off the tire (two on the front), the rears were getting there. She purchased four new tires after the tech told her that he wouldn't even ride in the car. My mom kept one of the front tires to show me - and yes the tread was seperating from the tire. I still have the one tire.*ak (dot number: w2m3 bcb tiresize: p215/70r15)
While driving the passenger side front tire blew out, the tire was totally destroyed along with the rim being damaged, the rim could not be repaired (the firestone,fr 680, p215/70r15).

A total of 5 tires failed. 2 in 1999 at 20000 miles which were replaced by the dealer without charge. One of the replacement tires failed shortly thereafter and was replaced. Last month the car developed a vibration and was taken to the dealer which advised the remaining 2 tires had seperated as well but they had too many miles on them to be replaced; further, neither did he tell my dad that it could be dangerous to drive the car with separations.*ak (tiresize: p22570r15)( dot number: tire size: p22570r15 )
Right front tire had 30 - 40 % tread seperation. Other three tires show evidence od premature wear.( dot number: m6x0 tire size: p22560r16 )
