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.

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.*ak (dot number: m6hf tiresize: p215/75r15)
No summary listed for above vehicle.
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.. *ak (tiresize: 31x15)( dot number: tire size: 31x15 )
All four goodyear eagle ls (255 65 15) tires on the vehicle have only 50% wear left with 13,000 miles on the vehicle, complaint on file at goodyear headquarters ref#431367, complaint filed with chrysler's headquarters file #8011321.
Consumer has a 1999, dodge, dakota. Tires were originals with only 50% of tread left on them. Goodyear to consumer they were sport performance tires that didn't really belong on a pick up truck. Tires had 13,000 miles on them.*ak the tires were goodyear eagle ls (p255 65 r15).
A tire blew up which was oem at only 14,000 miles at highway speed under no weight load in the bed. I'm in a truck club of fellow dakota owners. At least 6 others have stated problems with the stock eagle ls tires exploding at 14,000 miles. While I only sustained damage of a blown tire and damaged rim, others have had multiple accidents with different eagle ls tires blowing at differnet times. I've contacted goodyear and dodge directly. Unfortunately I didn't have the presence of mind to save the blown tire and rim for inspection. I don't expect anything personally from this but it would be nice if someone could look into this specific brand of tire. Thank you. (tiresize: 255/65/15)( dot number: tire size: 255/65/15 )
Goodyear wrangler st tire p215 75 r15 experienced blowout damaging the rim, consumer wants reimbursement.
Tire and rim identification label applied to all 1999 dakota r/t pickup trucks incorrectly states rim size, tire size and tire inflation pressure. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 120
Tires were installed at the factory. Vehicle was purchased for standard - on the road - use. At no time prior to the purchase was it reported that, as equipped, the owners manual prohibited the use of tire chains or traction devices on this vehicle. This severly restricts use of the vehicle. A complaint was filed with the national center for dispute settlement who refused to hear the case as it was not "broken". Rather this was something that was limited by design. The inability to use tire chains or traction devices represents a significant safety issue when used on the roads during winter months. Daimlerchrysler motors corporation and the dealer of purchase point fingers to each other, advising that each is a for-profit organization and the responsibility rests with the other party. Repeated calls to daimlerchrysler motors corporation and the dealer of purchase have failed to discover the reason for the restriction. Consequently, I must assume that tire chain use would represent an operational risk.( dot number: tire size: p255/65/15 )
When I bought the truck, I was told that capacity was 6400lbs. I have been informed that it was changed to 2000lbs with no reason why.
The goodyear tires (eagle ls p25569r15), the treads were wearing excessively. Had noticed the tread wear after having the tires rotated 3 different times. Had called the manufacturer & the dealer of the tires & both refused to do anything.
