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.

Car was being driven on atlantic city expressway in new jersey when a recalled goodyear tire blew out. Kept control of the car. Went to get a new tire a found that all four tires that were recalled were ready to blow out. Bought four new tires. The recall deadline for these tires was December 2007-which we missed. How do you put a deadline on a recall. If there was an accident it could have been very bad and we would be pursuing a lawsuit against the tire manufacturer.

While driving on the NJ turn pike at 70 mph, my husband felt what seemed like a tire going flat. He proceeded to try to get to the shoulder. Suddenly, the left rear tire blew and he totally lost control of the vehicle. He was hit head-on and in the rear. Both he and the driver of the other vehicle were injured and transported to the hospital. Two days later we went to see the car at the towing garage and we saw the rear passenger tire was split on the sidewall. These tires were replaced recently and were rotated and checked by goodyear three months ago. Goodyear saw nothing wrong with the tires at that time. Is goodyear waiting for a death to occur before they issues a recall? there are many complaints about the rsa18" tires.

I've got a 2004 Nissan Maxima. I have aprox 21,000 miles on it. My goodyear rsa tires (oem) have started to split on the side wall. My tires still have over 60% of the tread left. Goodyear is prorating the tires at 25% of tire wear used. My concern is that I know for a fact that my Maxima is not the only car that has had trouble with these tires. It would be horrible, if someone with the same problem didn't know about it and had an accident because the side of their tire blew out. Forums. Maxima. Org has many people that have reported this same problem.
