Lexus RX tire blowout problems

Filed Sep 25, 2026 · Tires · TX

This is original Goodyear Eagle Touring tire on 2025 Lexus RX 350. It M+S 235/50R21 101V. There were no low tire pressure alerts before the blowout. I was entering a ramp of a freeway (XXX in [XXX]) and suddenly heard a loud noise. Unfortunately due to ongoing construction there is no shoulder or curb in the stretch of the road. Also it was dark; about 4:30AM. As a result I had to drive some a couple of miles before I could exit and part safely. By that time tire was shredded and wheel damaged.

I was told tread separation was issue. This dealer put my family at Risk! When the car went in for shaking they said the tire was defective. They replaced it and charged me $214, the tire only cost $150 new. I asked if the other tires were OK, the girl I paid said "the bad tire was from a different batch than the three remaining tires and they were OK." 2 weeks later 2 more tires go bad, putting us back in the car with defective tires put my family at risk. This dealer is dishonest and Dangerous. They charged me for 4 new tires total cost $492.35 when the set only cost $600 new and we only received 15% of the use of the tire, before they went bad. 1 tire going bad is unfortunate, 3 tires same problem is a Defect and they should have been replaced NO Charge. Anyway you need to get these tires off the road before someone has a serious accident or possibly already has.

I am writing to address faulty cooper evolution tour 100v tires - tread separation in 3 years and 5,102 miles. Attached are 2 documents that will indicate the following: 12/05/2018 4 cooper evolution tour 100v tires purchased at tire kingdom pompano beach florida $ 501.89 @ 81,140 miles. 11/26/2021 4 michelin primacy mxm4 tires purchased at j m lexus margate florida $1,035.92 @ 86,242 miles. We traveled to venice, florida on 11/15/2021 and returned 11/19/2021. On our return trip the car (2009 lexus rx350) began to shake and vibrate violently! We were scared and concerned for our safety ! We immediately brought our car to j m lexus to correct this dangerous situation! They indicated tire tread separation had occured, and all 4 tires needed to be replaced. Incidentally, I own 2 other lexus rx350's in connecticut, and I have cooper tires on both. No problems with the 8 connecticut cooper tires. In searching your web-site I notice the federal safety agency recall no. – 19t-024 for cooper evolution tires. This may be applicable and provide the federal safety agency support for my claim of faulty tires. In response to the above the federal safety agency general guideline bullet point questions: the tires failed and have been disposed of by jm lexus. We thought the car was going to crash it was shaking so violently! Jm lexus dealer determined the cause as faulty tires. Only jm lexus examined these tires. No warning lamps or alarms. This problem first appeared on 11/19/2021 on our return trip (210 miles) from venice florida to pompano beach florida. Tire size 235 /55 r18 100v cooper evolution tour. P.s. From the very first day that I bought these tires 12/05/18 I was suspect of them because all 4 had an excess of material on the edge of the tires that was never trimmed off properly ! I these made me wonder if they were defective in some manner ?

The chrome in the interior of the wheels bubble and delaminate. This caused the tire to lose pressure slowly, until tire failure occurred. The tire failures rendered the tires irreparable, even if the tire was only 3 months old. So far this has occurred on three of the four wheels supplied by lexus at the time of purchase. All failures have occurred within 6 months of each other. The lexus has a low pressure warning indicator, but it has not activated during these times. The tire pressures are regularly checked.
