I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima se with goodyear eagle rsa 245/45/18 size, in sept. 2003. In april 2005 I had all 4 tires replaced because of the sidewall cracking. My car only had 22,000 miles on it. In oct 2006 I had a blowout on the expressway and goodyear couldn't determine if it was from the cracking and I bought a new tire. In june 2007, with only 46000 miles I suffered 3 flat tires due to the cracking (the new tire I just bought was fine). I complained to goodyear and they replaced all 4 free of charge with a set of dunlop direzzas. I feel this is a tremendous safety hazard and something should be done about it.

Good year eagle rsa tire blew on I-95 in south florida. Sidewall blew out of tire. Tires have less than 25,000 miles on them. Nissan dealership replaced blown tire, but noticed all of tires left (3) had sidewall splits that they deemed unsafe. They would not replace the other tires, they stated that they were 1/2 of a 32nd less tread than they were able to replace. These tires are defective. These are the tires that nissan puts on all of their maxima models. Good year should be required to replace tires.
I own a 2004 nissan maxima. I had the tires replaced at around 30,000 miles due to "cupping" on the tires. They wore terribly and were making a terrible noise. I then had to have the right front strut and bearings replaced at 31,000 miles and now at 47,000 miles my left front strut and bearings needs replacing, which will cost me nearly $400.00. The car has a bad vibration in the steering wheel at 50-60 miles per hour and when braking. Now, my new set of tires have worn badly and are so noisy that you cannot hold a normal conversation at freeway speed. I love the look of the car, but I cannot wait to get rid of it! It is obviously not safe if the suspension bounces you all over the road! Additionally, I have had to have the heat shield replaced once and now it needs it again. The power outlets are in the worst possible places I have ever seen. Nissan....please do something about this before your loyal customers pay for this flaw!
I bought the 04 nissan maxima in december 2004, and in september . 2005 I took the car to have the tires rotated. I was informed by the local goodyear tire dealer that two of the tires had cracks in the sidewalls. Because the car had only 10,000 miles goodyear replaced these two tires under the original warranty. Now, in 2007 with 40,000 miles on the car the other two original tires have sidewall cracks. Of course goodyear will only give me credit for the wear left on the tires , and a new tire cost $300. We have decided for safety reasons we were not going to replace these tires with the goodyear eagle size 245/45r18v. This seemed to be a similar problem as ford and firestone had with the explorer several years ago. Why has the public not been informed about the nissan/goodyear tire problem. My conclusion was fewer of us own nissan vehicles than fords. So, if the tires cause a couple of us to have wrecks that was just the price of doing big business.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 nissan maxima. While driving 5 MPH into the driveway it was difficult to steer the vehicle. The contact observed a large crack around the rim of the tire. The dealer informed the contact that all four of the tires were a safety hazard and they recommended that she no longer drive the vehicle. The goodyear manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to town fair tire and speak with a representative. The dot# for 3 tires are m6a9cmwr1703, and one tire dot# was m6a9cmwr5203. All of the tires are goodyear eagle, size 245/45r18v. Town fair inspected the tires and confirmed with goodyear that all four tires were a safety hazard at 23,000 miles. Goodyear stated that they would pay 75% of the tire replacement; however, the contact feels that goodyear should pay the full amount. The contact filed a complaint with goodyear and was given case # 888402. The contact will also be filing a complaint with the attorney general in her local area. The contact has one of the tires if necessary for the investigation. The current mileage was 23,552. *ak update 04/17/07. *
I have been experiencing problems with the goodyear eagle rs-a's that came on my 2004 nissan maxima. All four tires have been leaking air due to the sidewall cracks that have developed on each tire. Due to the fact that all four tires have developed these sidewall cracks and that multiple individuals have experienced this same problem leads me to the conclusion that this is a factory defect. Due to the concern of my family's safety, I have replaced all four tires with another brand of tires.
Tire tread separation. Was told nothing can be done. Low mile tires original equipment tires replaced but very loud with same tire.
