Goodyear assurance tires, 225 70r16, set of four, approximately less than 5,000 miles. At 70 mph on expressway, entire outer sidewall blew out, leaving tread and inner sidewall intact. This is on my 87 year old mother's vehicle, but fortunately I was driving and the tire was on the rear of the car. This was on a dry highway, normal driving and conditions.
The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Journey. The contact stated that he touched the valve and the tire deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the valve corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 55,000. The VIN was unavailable.
