The contact's granddaughter owns a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee equipped with cooper tires, tire line: discoverer enduramax, tire size: p245/65/r17, dot number: 1u9151tmr. The contact stated while the driver was driving at 70 mph, the rear passenger's tire had a blowout. The driver was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where the tire was inspected, and the contact became aware that the tire had blown out at the sidewall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the defective tire was shipped to the manufacturer for inspection. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the tire failure had been caused by a pinhole that gradually deflated the tire until the tire had the blowout; however, the contact stated that the tpms did not indicate a loss of tire air pressure prior to the blowout, and that the failure had occurred abruptly. The manufacturer offered to partially reimburse the cost of the tire. The contact purchased a new tire from the dealer and replaced the tire himself. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 189,000, and the tire failure mileage was approximately 4,000. The VIN was not available.

Tire wears on inside wall where tread meets sidewall on goodyear rsa emt tires I have gone through 4 tires now all with the exact same issue. Goodyear has worked with me on "pro-rating" at a reduced price to replace. I am still unhappy with tires failing after less than 10,000 miles and having to pay to replace them.
