To date 3 of the 4 original goodyear eagle ls2 p225/65r16 tires are separating along the tire wall seam. The tire were original equipment on a 2004 Nissan Quest with less than 20,000 miles wear. A local retailer is replacing the tires awaiting goodyear's decision for cost. The first indication is that the tire looses air pressure and upon inspection a part can be found along the seam. This is definitely and manufacturing defect.

While driving at 65 mph consumer heard an explosion and slowed down. Vehicle was pulled over on to the shoulder, where the consumer noticed that the entire sidewall of the tire was blown out.

I bought a 2004 Nissan Quest in January of 2004. It was purchased new from the dealer. The van had goodyear eagle LS tires. We have had the van a little over six months and have had three blowouts, all occuring on the sidewalls of the tires. The first blowout occurred the first month we had the van. We were on the highway. The second blowout occurred as my wife was pulling up on the curb to park. The third blowout occurred in a parking lot as she was turning a corner. There were four rails on the ground and the tire grazed one and totally blew. This was in a church parking lot at a very low speed. The fourth tire was replaced when we noticed a gouge in the rubber of the tire. We have replaced all four tires with another brand. When we contacted the car dealer, we were told that there were no other reports of problems with this tire and goodyear would not do anything. My wife and I both have impeccable driving records - no accidents, speeding tickets, reckless driving etc. . So this is not a case of negligent driving on our part.
