Traveling east on hwy 76 just outside julesburg, co, my right rear tire sidewall blew out at 75mph. Tire pressures were at 35 psi on all tires before trip a few days earlier. Tires have about 20,000 miles on them and have about 45% remaining tread. Blowout pattern was a near perfect circle where the sidewall meets the tread area of the tire. Damage to vehicle consisted of bent rear quarter panel.

What owners say
The defogger for heat venilation will not blow out heat. The blend air door arm broke off this is part of the heater box. Causing fog on the outiside of the window. The dealer is aware of the problem. Mr
The rear tire blewout without warning (goodyear wrangler rt/s p225/75r15-102s),small nail found in the tire, however no deflation occured prior to blowout. Nlm
Had 2 side wall blowouts with a 3rd tire bulging at the side. I had to pay for the first tire because nothing was suspected to be wrong, then the tires kept blowing out and the 3rd tire was caught before the blow out occurred. Good year was contacted and they replaced 3 tires but refused to reimburse for the first tire that we paid for. I feel someone needs to look into these tires before someone ends up getting killed. *ak (tiresize: 225/75 r15)( dot number: tire size: 225/75 r15 )
Tire failed while vehicle was being towed behind motor home. Air pressure had been checked that morning. Failure was complete tread separation from carcass. Goodyear said nothing could be done and it wasn't their fault. Failure resulted in damage to vehicle. *ak (tiresize: p225/75r16)( dot number: tire size: p225/75r16 )
At slow rate of speed, rear tire blew out. No sign of nail, etc. As cause. Didn't damage tread part of tire, but blew the side of the tire out, leaving only threads remaining. This happened on both rear tires (12,000 miles) within a 2-week period.( dot number: tire size: p22575r15 )
