1999 Chrysler 300M: tire blowout or tread separation

Filed Jul 26, 2007 · Tires · MN

I bought a set of yokohama tires for my 1999 chrysler 300m in july 2006. We have several problems with these tires not holding air. Finally, now, the right front tire blew 2 half dollar size holes in the sidewall of the tire for no apparent reason. We were able to keep the vehicle on the road as to not cause further damage. We have taken the vehicle to tires plus for the previous problems as well as this blowout. We will obviously be replacing all four tires and will not be buying this brand again.

I have had multiple wheel problems with the wheels on my 1999 chrysler 300m. The wheels have corroded and as a result the tires continually go flat. The valve stems have been replaced numerous times only to leak around them again. Yesterday I took my car to the tire service center because it was leaking again. This time to my surprise there was a hairline crack amid the corrosion necessitating replacement of the wheel. I was told that the chrome wheels corrode and all should to be replaced. Furthermore replacement would not solve the problem since the replacements would also corrode. The problem is one of poor design and the wrong choice of materials. I have the replaced wheel. Currently I have to air my tires at least once a week. This has LED to lower tire mileage and premature tire failure.

I have replaced 7 goodyear tires on my 1999 300m as well as one chrome rim (several serious blowouts). The driver & passenger window motors required replacement. Have mysterious 2 inch dashboard crack near passenger side airbag. Replaced sensors (crank case?). Chafing wires cause unexpected stalls & failures. Local dealer trying to diagnose current problem-car stalls after shift into drive. Afraid to keep a car with only 42,000 miles. Love the look & room of the car but may be too dangerous to risk stalling on a highway at 65mph or missing an interview.
