1998 Volkswagen Jetta tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Goodyear eagle tires experienced the inner side of the tire hanging on to the tread by strands of steel.
Right rear tire blew out at freeway speed. Before coming to a stop the tire rubbed against the fuel tank that is made of plastic and wore a large hole in the tank. This could have caused a fire/explosion and loss of life. Poor design of the putting the plastic fuel tank so close to the tire. Volkswagen contacted and refused to acknowledge the poor design. New model vw jetta does not have same design. *ak( dot number: mkhc tire size: 195/60hr14 )
Original goodyear eagle tires, rear left and rear right tires blew off while on the road. Yh

Tire sidewalls continually loosing air due to cracking. Mjs
Tire had a sidewall seperation on the highway resulting in accident; this has happened now twice, on the stock tires, first time I thought it was just bad luck, however two times seems to be fishy. The tires have plenty of tread left. I am interested to find out if this has happened to other people.( dot number: mkhcfjdr19 tire size: 195/60r14 )
