I am writing to formally report an alarming and dangerous pattern of tire failure involving the cooper adventurer ht 265/50r/20 tires (product number: 90000025718, dot: u9um 1hk) that were installed on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Tires: pirelli 285/40r22. Tires failed: front passenger + both -driver/passenger tires. Failures did not occur concurrently. I am writing to report significant issues with the pirelli tires on my vehicle, raising serious safety concerns. (usage, two tires - 11 months / 1 tire - 4 months) firstly, the front passenger tire has developed noticeable bumps on the sidewall near the rim. Notably, these tires have never encountered foreign objects or rough terrain that could have caused this damage. The bulges indicate potential internal damage, compromising the tire's structural integrity and posing a risk while driving. Additionally, the passenger rear tire suffered a catastrophic blowout at 65 mph on interstate 75. Examination revealed a 10-inch strip had detached from the tire's inner layer. This sudden failure occurred without warning and could have resulted in a severe loss of control, endangering my safety and that of other road users. Similarly, the driver rear tire also blew out at 65 mph on interstate 10 due to a failed section measuring approximately 6 inches along the contact area. These incidents raise critical concerns about the reliability of these tires, especially at highway speeds. Following these events, my technicians inspected the vehicle and found no other underlying issues, raising further questions about the quality and durability of these tires. I urge you to investigate thoroughly to prevent risks for other customers relying on your products. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

My vehicle has 22,000 miles on it. The dealer has determined that they are at 4/32 and are wearing prematurely. He also indicated that Jeep (nielsen Jeep) is aware of this and it is simply unfortunate that all four (4) tires (michelin premier ltx, 265/60r18) on my vehicle wore evenly and prematurely. As I indicated to the dealership servicing my vehicle, the tires do not grip in inclement weather and often result in skids, a safety issue especially when my two 12yr olds are in the vehicle with me. Tire warranted at 55,000 miles should not wear prematurely and thus making it unsafe to operate the vehicle.

Traveling at 55mph on rt. 264 w. In virginia beach, va the right rear tire "exploded" with no warning whatsoever and sent my vehicle out of control coming very close to impacting vehicles on either side. I regained partial control and got the vehicle onto the shoulder. My family was shaken but o. K. State police arrived. Upon inspection there was very little left of the tire (I will upload pics). Vehicle was brought to "discount tire" where close inspection of the remaining tires showed steel belt protruding from the front right tire. I was amazed. The vehicle had recently passed state inspection and was well within wear limits. I paid to have the (2) obviously failed tires replaced and asked goodyear customer service to pay to replace the remaining (2) - all were bought as a set from walmart. Goodyear customer service refused and now I must pay for the work as no one in their right minds would drive around on the remaining (2). . There's a 50/50 chance they would fail as well! it is my understanding these are not their "top of the line tires", but I must ask when it comes to safety what possible difference can that make? we depend on our government to properly test such basic safety related items that can cause death and damage in a moment to any family. I hope the NHTSA will/does thoroughly investigate all goodyear tires, but especially these sold primarily at walmart if I understood correctly. This is an incident that simply should not have occurred and even after the fact of two of these tires falling apart on the same vehicle, their corporate headquarters refused any responsibility; financial or otherwise. . Not even an apology!.

While driving on a 55 mph 4 lane roadway I experienced a loud "pop" sound followed by rapid rhythmic banging at the passenger rear area of the vehicle. Thinking a tire must have failed I got as far to the right of the roadway and stopped. When the tire was changed it was apparent that the tread delaminated involving about one half of the length of the tread. The tire was not punctured and remained inflated. I was in danger of injury due to the proximity to high speed traffic passing by. I contacted goodyear, the manufacturer of the tire, and they retrieved the tire for an internal inspection. They denied my claim citing the delamination was caused by "impact causing overdeflection of the tire and a fracture of the steel belt package". There was no impact with any object or defect in the road surface. There is no way the the rear tire could have impacted anything without the front passenger side tire also being involved. The tire was rendered totally unusable as a result. There was no warning nor was there any impact. The tire size is 265/50r20. There is extensive damage to the passenger rear area of my vehicle and the rear passenger door.

2008 Jeep srt8 purchased in December 2009 with brand new tires. Less than 30k miles and found front tires separating on inner edges with plenty of tread left and alignment within specs. I found this yesterday when I decided to do some maintenance repairs as I am a Jeep technician and I work at a Chrysler dealership. The front tires are completely separated with threads exposed. This is extremely dangerous as I drive this vehicle with family at highway speeds. I have pictures if necessary and can provide alignment specs. I am a member of the Jeep srt8 forum and this is a common issue with many members.

Less then 5k mileage, the tires began to ripple discovered upon local gas station inspection. Threads started coming threw on both right and left tires.

We bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt-8 and the front tires had been recently replaced so we weren't too concerned but when I did an oil change on Sunday I noticed the right front tires tread was separating from the rest of the tire. This is our family vehicle so because I was worried about something happening to the tire and perhaps us we have not been able to use the vehicle. I ordered a new set of tires and will get them installed this weekend. I am keeping the old tires for proof of the damage.

On Nov. 2007 I purchased 4 bridgestone dueler h/t 684ii , p245/70/r16 tires for my Jeep cherokee limited. The car had 67,000 miles on it. In sept 2010 I took the car into sts for the 4th time for a balance and wheel alignment, as the car always pulled to the left since I put the tires on. The car now has 97,000 miles on it and the treads are worn on the side of the tires not the middle or inside side. Sts is now saying I need new tires. Why did they only wear on the outer side of the tire and not in the middle or other side. For the money I paid, these tires are a piece of junk. I have had bf goodrich and had tires much longer than these.
