Goodyear rs-a 245/45-r18 2006 Nissan Maxima: son driving home from lubbock texas to portales nm, back tire had flat he changed tire and inside side wall was torn up! it was at night so he drove home. He could not see the extent of the damage that was done based on lack of light. Next morning I got in car and I could not brake. I was lucky and managed to stop my car.

Looked in trunk and found tire blown out with wires (resembling hot wire sticking out of tire sidewall. Wire was coming out. They looked like strings. . . But metal and lots of them! this is the radial part of tire? it wrapped around my axel and around the brake line. It also pulled the solid steal bracket the brake line was mounted to out of place. The mount was pulled down and cut through the metal of my car based on tension of the wires from tires pulling it down. My son could have been killed!!!!!!! or someone else. Brake line, rim.

Noticed circular tearing of all four tires beginning at 16,000 miles. Later, while driving down the highway, the front left tire blew and tore apart. Luckily, no one was injured and I found a small edge of the freeway to change the tire, which was very nerve racking when changing the tire. This occurred at 18,000 miles, 18 months of owning the car. This was a week after I told Nissan to look at my tires and they said nothing was wrong with them, despite the circular breakage beginning to occur. I told them to check for leaks as well. They said no leaks. They were goodyear tires 245/45/18 eagle rsa tires. I had to buy four new tires due to safety reasons at $575.
