1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2014

Goodyear tires cracking, all four tires, p245/6517 fortera silent armor purchased July 22, 2010. Tire identification: dot pj8t 65hr 1910, approximate 23,000 miles, tread depth remaining 8/32. These tires are cracking in threads, circumference and rim line. I have contracted goodyear case #1402275. They will give me a tire credit of $182. 82, I feel these should have been replaced free of charge. There is no abuse on these tires, well maintained, no cupping. I have many pictures that I would like to email. I will be purchasing new tires 06-09-2014.

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2002

Right rear tire popped / blew out unexpectedly while driving approx. 40 mph. Vehicle is a 17 day old 2003 chevy Trailblazer. I'm concerned about the safety and well being of my 6 year old child as well as myself while driving on a "repaired" tire, that may possibly have some type of defect with the tire. The dealer/service department seem more concerned about convincing me that I must have ran over something and everything will be ok, because they will repair the tire.
