After 24,000 miles the goodyear eagle tires on my 2005 nissan maxima developed a bubble on the sidewall in exactly the same spot on both tires. When I took the car to the goodyear dealer for warranty repair they told me it was not covered and they said the tires had an "impact break." they said this was not uncommon in this tire and they see it all the time.
Dt*: the contact stated while entering a highway at 40 MPH, the rear passenger tire blew out without warning. There were no obvious road hazards present. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who determined the remaining three tires were cracked along the inside wall and needed to be replaced as well. The tires were wahl, size 245/35r20.
Consumer goodyear tires had a crack along the inside area. *ts ***nar*** the consumer felt vibrations in the steering wheel. The technician noticed crack on the inside of all four tires. The tires were replaced at a prorated rate.
245-45-18 goodyear eagle rs-a tire on 2005 maxima came apart.
I went to do the monthly check of tire air pressure and found that the label on the driver's door post does not list the recommended tire pressure. All four tires are at 40 psi cold and I do not know if that is dangerous.
Steel belt widewalls failed, all four tires sidewalls crack, some to opening of 3/8 inche. Some on inside, some on outside , only 28645 miles on tires when noticed due to high speed wobbel
