Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
I have goodyear eagle ls tires on my 2002 ford mustang that keep blowing out on the inside and shredding the tire. In 3 years I have purchased 4 tires and had another blowout last night that shreds the inside of the tire. I had just had this tire checked on the 8th of april and the tire was fine.
Consumer was driving approximately 40 MPH when heard a loud "pop" noise. The right rear tire blew out at the sidewall. Goodyear eagle, ls 225/55r16, dot- m6t4bmer0902 22,674 miles on tire, original equipment.
While driving, at 55 MPH the rear passenger tire experienced tread separation. Goodyear tire, p225/55r16. *ak. The second time while driving 10 miles per hour, the driver's side rear tire experienced tread separation, on both occasions the rims were damaged. *ts
The vehicle stalled while driving. When the consumer attempted to restart the vehicle it stalled again and sometimes does not start at all. *nlm the control valve was changed with no codes showing in the system. Before, the mecahnic stated that the problem was due to the weather and the gas. The right rear tire had a bubble in the sidewall and was replaced. Scc
On nov. 3rd of this year my son had a blow out with one of the new eagle ls tires. He was pulling into a driveway and hit the curb with his front right tire. He took the tire to a goodyear dealer and told him what had happened. The dealer told him that hitting the curb caused the tire to blow. This tire had only 2341 miles on it and I do not think that hitting a curb while entering a parking lot should cause this tire to blow. This past weekend I was looking over the other tires and found a bulge on the left front tire. I would like to know if you have received any other compliants about this tire. The tire which I am asking about is the p225/55r16 94t s1 eagle ls. Can you please get back to me with any information that you may have on this tire. Dt
