On December 2, 2007 my right front tire blew apart. After getting tire changed I went to walmart and bought a new tire. On July 22, 2008 the same kind of tire again had a problem with a defective belt and had to be replaced again. The tire was a goodyear viva 2 p195/65r15bw viva 2. Fortunately I was able to drive safely to a place to have the tire changed but had to buy a new tire each time. Updated 08/27/08.

The contact was driving on June 8, 2005 when he heard a ping sound come from under the vehicle. Then the driver side tire blew out. There were no accidents. When he took it to the dealership they said there was a punctured mark on the tire. They said it was not due to a defect in the tire. The tire is a goodyear, size I 205/50r17xl. The contact did not understand why the puncture mark did not cause the tire to go flat. Updated 11/16/2005 - the tire was a goodyear eagle rs-a.

You can dial goodyear at 1-800. 321. 2136 press 1 then, press 3. Ask about goodyear case # 559-496. It involves my Pt Cruisers, its original sets of tires and continued problems. I was worried about having future blow-outs. Its a matter of safety. Goodyear reasonably, adjusted three tires for me after I explained my blow outs situation. I followed up again with goodyear, and toyo (file # 035253), explained the 16 inch wheel saga. How I spent a year going from dealership to dealership complaining about the 16 inch wheels and the tire blow-outs. They never recorded my rim complaints no matter which DC 5 star dealership I went too. They would record the cruisers mileage, and any warranted items they could bill DC for, but never a wheel or tire complaint. I questioned the service managers and the mechanics and they all repeated. No one (we know of) is complaining about low mileage uneven tire wear, difficulty balancing or pulling tires, rims out of round, bent, corroded, peeling or rusted rims. And no one is reporting tire blow-outs on the Pt Cruiser. Dc has no technical service bulletins about these issues. I reported to goodyear and toyo costumer service department as a follow-up. I reviewed the findings from pritz DC s 5 star dealership. As it goes, its not the tires--its the rims. These alloy wheels are out of round, bent, corroded, soft, rusted on the street face of the wheels with rust and peeling chrome around lips rim which seals to the tire on the inside which you cannot see. Other pt owners are also having similar problems with these 16 in wheels which theyve also reported to goodyear. They deserve to be notified. The paint and body damage on our Pt Cruiser is from riding blown-out tires off the side of the road. Thank god we are still alive.
