9 Tire Blowout problem of the 2002 Dodge Dakota

Failure Date: 07/17/2002

Purchased a new truck and four days later had a blow out on the right rear tire. I went to a local goodyear dealer and he said the tire was cut (appeared to from loading or unloading during transit). I am absolutely certain I did not run over anything large enough to leave a gash of that size. There was a four inch section that blew out of the tire and goodyear would only offer a discount on a new tire. It appears that goodyear is not concerned about the welfare of their customers, because they will not stand behind their product.

13 Tire Blowout problem of the 1999 Dodge Dakota

Failure Date: 06/28/2000

A tire blew up which was oem at only 14,000 miles at highway speed under no weight load in the bed. I'm in a truck club of fellow Dakota owners. At least 6 others have stated problems with the stock eagle LS tires exploding at 14,000 miles. While I only sustained damage of a blown tire and damaged rim, others have had multiple accidents with different eagle LS tires blowing at differnet times. I've contacted goodyear and Dodge directly. Unfortunately I didn't have the presence of mind to save the blown tire and rim for inspection. I don't expect anything personally from this but it would be nice if someone could look into this specific brand of tire. Thank you. (tiresize: 255/65/15)( dot number: tire size: 255/65/15 ).
