I was traveling east on the paved portion of nevada state roure 290 at about 50 MPH. The left rear tire blew out. About a 10 inch long portion of the tire just shreded. When I took it to the local goodyear dealer he refused to make good on it. He claimed I had run over a curb or some other obstacle. I had never rubbed a curb, let alone hit one, or hit any other obstacle. I figured it was not worth the time and effort to contact the manufacturer. I know of two other people in carson city who have had the same problem with goodyear tires. Firestone has been racked over the coals. I tink it is time to, at least, investigate goodyear to see how safe their tires are. *ak (dot number: unknown tiresize: p265/75r16)
