Premature tread separation on my front good year run flat tires.
After reading where multiple jeep grand cherokee srt8 owners were experiencing front tire failure with factory tires, I had my tires checked during an alignment. Both of my front tires are experiencing a tread separation failure. I bought this vehicle with brand new tires on it, 0 miles from a local dealer. I contacted goodyear corporate, who sent me to a goodyear dealer locally, who inspected my tires, informed me they were defective, and offered me a pro-rated replace of 50% off. I feel that if a tire (or any product) has a manufacturing defect, then it should be replaced as such and not pro-rated. The tire was obviously defective from day one, and is only showing such after some use. Now I have to pay for replacement of tires that are not completely used nor worn to treadwear markers for fear of complete tire failure.

Tire wears on inside wall where tread meets sidewall on goodyear rsa emt tires I have gone through 4 tires now all with the exact same issue. Goodyear has worked with me on "pro-rating" at a reduced price to replace. I am still unhappy with tires failing after less than 10,000 miles and having to pay to replace them.
Front good year tires separating from the belt. Car is in perfect alignment checked by dealer. Hundreds maybe thousands have been reporting the same problem, all at around 20k miles. Dealer failing to warranty them claiming that its normal on these trucks due to the suspension??? Not my problem! Do not plan on spending $460 dollars per tire every 20k miles.
The automotive oil change association (aoca) represents the fast lube industry, with more than 3,500 locations in north america, servicing more tires than any other organization. Over the past several months members reported an increasing number of problems with tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) ' and they are getting worse. Conventional TPMS's measure tire pressure at the valve and use a radio frequency to transmit the data to an antenna on the side of the vehicle. The quality of these valve stems is so poor that car care professionals know - if they check the tire pressure, it is likely the valve will break and they will incur the cost to replace, about $110.00 per unit. Specifically, the 2008 jeep grand cherokee, and the 2008 chevrolet equinox, have aluminum valves stems; these easily corrode, become brittle, and break at the touch. They also have a plastic cap. If this plastic cap is improperly seated, or replaced by an aftermarket cap containing brass, or brass thread inserts, it leads quickly to galvanic corrosion; the result- the cap fuses to the valve stem. Attempt to remove the cap, the stem breaks. The driving public is being 'trained' to trust these monitors for accurate tire pressure. Properly inflated tires reduce the potential for life-threatening blowouts, enhance handling, improve fuel efficiency, and prolong tire life; lowering the cost of ownership. These systems are too fragile to continue using them in passenger vehicles without addressing the durability. As these systems age, failure will increase 100%. Tpms units are spec'd out by oem's- manufactured by siemens vdo (acq'd by continental ag in may '07). Aoca has made many inquiries to see if these units are intended to be recalled or redesigned'the resounding answer is 'no'. If oem's do not change the spec's TPMS's will continue to be poorly made. Aoca asks the federal safety agency recall these units to protect the consumer, and people maintaining the tires on vehicles.
I have a 2007 jeep grand cherokee srt8 and the front two tires have blown out with only 12k miles on them twice. Once at 12k and again at 24k. There was a recall issued in 2006 for 2006 srt8 models but nothing for the 2007 model year. These tire have been determined unsafe in 2006, but the same tires and problems are happening in 2007. I had 2 wheel alignments done and both were ok. It is a tire issue that keeps costing me money and the risk to me and my family everytime I drive the truck. The tire is a goodyear eagle rs-a 255-45-r20 runflat tire.
2007 jeep grand cherokee limited, 4.7 engine, vibration at highway speeds between 60 and 75 MPH. Dealership has replaced both driveshafts which helped some. Goodyear replaced on goodyear fortera hl tire which was out of round. This helped some as well. Still there is a vibration (shudder) throughout the vehicle at the speeds mentioned prior.

The dot # was m64ydver. The current and failure mileages were 13,000. The tire was determined to be defective
