Side walls are failing. Cracks all around near rim. Rubber is also pealing off in slices. On 3 out of 4 tires tire model is sport ht.
I had a tire failure with a set of good year eagles ls1. The tire had five to six cracks in the inner and outer side wall of the tire causing the tire to deflate. Initially I thought that it was just one tire, but, it ended up being all four tires. I took the tire in to get another one only to be told that the tires were flawed and that I would and or should replace them as they were now a safety hazard. I ended up having to replace all four tires. My question is, at what point does a tire become flawed? and who should bear the cost of replacement. Does someone have to lose a life before we can make these tire companies responsible? I contacted good year and I got the substandard response that I had got a fair price for new tires, after all, they did prorate them. Again, at what point is a tire flawed? and should the consumer have to bear the costs for these corporations?.
While checking the air pressure for the tires of a new purchased vehicle consumer noticed the pressure was 44 pounds. The standard air pressure should be 32 pounds in the door panel. Also, firestone recommended 32 pounds. Gm suggested that a 17 inch tire would be a tight fit in the spare cavity, which were he size on the consumer's vehicle. The consumer stated that he has driven the vehicle with an off sized tire and it was hard to handle. (bridgestone dueler ht).
