Goodyear regatta 225/65r16 sidewall failures - four tires of this brand have failed on our 1998 olds intrigue. Three are from a replacement set purchased around 2002, and one of the pro-rata warranty replacements just failed. The first three were full-on blowouts at low speeds without hitting any bumps and the most recent was multiple large bulges in the sidewall and a flat tire developed while driving at 70 MPH.

4 chrome plated aluminum wheels on my oldsmobile intrigue have corroded and are leaking air through the hole supplied for the valve stem. They still leak after replacement of the valve stem because of a poor corroded surface. Mechanic indicated that wheels need to be replaced before there is a blow out of the valve stem.

I had a sidewall blow out with a three week old dunlop tire while merging on to an on ramp at 40 miles per hour. The tire lost pressure immediately and caused temporary loss of control of the car. The weather was only and 30 degrees, and I openly had myself and empty trunk car. The tires were purchased at an authorized goodyear dealer and installed with a set of equally sized four tires. Corporate and retail goodyear people will only replace the tire if they can be proved that it was defect in the manufacturing of the tire, not with installation or any other charaterisitics. The prevoius tire on that rim was a goodyear tire that lasted 45000 miles without incident, so rim damage appear to be not likely.

3 of the four tires, both front and one rear, have bubbling on inside edge with tread seperation. It sounds simular to the firestone problems. I find it perplexing that these tires lasted less then 37000 miles before they had tread seperation. As soon as I noticed, I replaced all the tires with another brand because I did not want to risk a blowout. It is difficult to notice this particular seperation because it occured on the inside edge of the rear tires. I noticed it only because something did not sound right and I located the faulty areas by feel. I am concerned that if this is a wide spread problem, some might not notice before the seperation becomes worse and/or a blow out occurs.( dot number: m6xobmwr24 tire size: p22560r16 )
