Goodyear silent armor tire is prematurely failing in its sidewall and / the continuity of the product's integrity is compromised. This has already led to a premature blowout in the highway (defined as the exact same reason for the current goodyear silent armor recall and nevada lawsuit) and can be seen on two of the 3 remaining tires. The only exception is that this was on a tires produced in 05-10 (one of them) and 11/10 (one of them). I took pictures of the blown tire and of the remaining tires awaiting an opportunity to provide to consul.
Right front tire blew out. Dealership claims a nail caused the entire sidewall to blow out. We strongly disagree with them. The tire wasn't leaking air, wasn't underinflated, there were no steering problems, and the tire didn't show any sign of wear. The entire sidewall blew out and cause damage to the tire and rim. For our safety we have removed these firestone tires from our vehicle, and they are here at our home for inspection. We believe there is a problem with this make of tire.
