Tire Sidewall problems of the 2003 Dodge Dakota

To whom it concerns: I am requesting that the dot NHTSA investigate the possibility of a tire sidewall separation or sidewall delamination of cooper tires (cooper tire & rubber company) model discoverer rtx, size p245/70r16, dot ut9h 2bm 1818. I purchased a set of 4 tires (discoverer rtx, 245/70r16) on November 14, 2018 for my 2003 Dodge Dakota. On December 9, 2018, I was driving on the highway for the first time since purchasing the cooper tires. I suddenly heard a noise similar to driving on grooved payment or rumble-strips. However, the roadway was smooth and clear. I pulled over immediately and checked the tires. The right-rear tire was torn (shredded) all-around between the tire shoulder and tread, resulting in two separate pieces. Upon further inspection, I found a portion of the side wall where the outer and inner sections were not adhered (or not glued) together like the rest of the tire. I am concerned that this tire was defective and that the other 3 tires may also be affected. Can you look into this to see if this tire should be recalled? I am concerned about the safety of these tires. Thank you.

I bought the 04 Nissan maxima in December 2004, and in September . 2005 I took the car to have the tires rotated. I was informed by the local goodyear tire dealer that two of the tires had cracks in the sidewalls. Because the car had only 10,000 miles goodyear replaced these two tires under the original warranty. Now, in 2007 with 40,000 miles on the car the other two original tires have sidewall cracks. Of course goodyear will only give me credit for the wear left on the tires , and a new tire cost $300. We have decided for safety reasons we were not going to replace these tires with the goodyear eagle size 245/45r18v. This seemed to be a similar problem as Ford and firestone had with the explorer several years ago. Why has the public not been informed about the Nissan/goodyear tire problem. My conclusion was fewer of us own missing than fords. So, if the tires cause a couple of us to have wrecks that was just the price of doing big business.

While driving my 2003 Dodge Dakota pick-up on the expressway my rear left drivers side tire had a blowout. Upon stopping and inspection, the tire had a side blowout with only 15,775 miles of wear. This tire came with the vehicle when I purchased it new in April 2004. I did not hit anything on the roadway and was driving the speed limit of 55mph. I had been driving for about 25 minutes on the expressway when the blowout occurred. I still have the tire and am concerned that this was caused by a defect which caused the side tire blowout.

Defective goodyear tires, sidewall bloo out.
