The good year eagle sport tires tore apart on a short trip to the grocery store and caused the car to be unsafe to drive. The tires were manufactured on june 2019 and purchased october 2019 and by january 3rd of 2021 they were flat and chewed up with only around 13,000 miles on them even though they were 50,000 mile tires. This complaint is involving the goodyear tires that were on the car and the one that failed and was chewed up despite low miles and recently manufactured/made within the last 19 months prior to this happening. It should be noted that after the tire was discovered chewed up the brake system was in need of repair as the tire caused damage. The brakes were not responsive to stopping after the tire was chewed up even though there was some braking power when brake pedal was pushed down to the floor, the braking power was reduced and the brake light on the car came one. That is to say that the tire failure damaged some of the braking componenets in the vehicle. Dot c0x3 2e1r 0619

These particular wheels on the crown victoria police interceptor were known to crack, and leak air, causing an accident. They were recalled by ford, but the police department that purchased this vehicle, yavapai-apache police in camp verde, az, never had them replaced. I am constantly adding air to my tires. Luckily I haven't had a blowout. I would settle for a used set of stock wheels(12 hole type) to replace the current 8 hole type, since I still have the original hubcaps on the vehicle

I was traveling southbound on I-75, just north of it's exit with I-4, and south of its exit to martin luther king blvd., at approximately 65 MPH. I was in the far left thru lane when suddenly, and with no warning whatsoever, the right rear tire blew out, causing my 2010 crown victoria to fishtail on I-75 and, I believe, to be struck by a semi-truck which continued south. My car spun and came to rest on the opposite side of the interstate. I sustained injury to my neck, mid back and low back. I sustained a loss of consciousness and head injury.
