Tire Bead Problems of Toyota Corolla

All four goodyear exhilarate tires cracked and separated from the sidewall on the interior side of the tire. I have one of the four tired saved and available for inspection. With the tire separating at the bead and sidewall on the interior side completely away from the butyl liner inside of the tire, it was a mere miracle that the car actually made it to the repair shop without blowing out, causing an accident which could have been a fatality or at least a very bad accident. The tires were taken to a goodyear service center and after talking with corporate said it was nothing they could do and sent me on my way. By chance the car was going on a trip and wanted to get the tires rotated and the oil changed beforehand , had he not chosen to do such the outcome could've been terrible. There wasn't any warning of tire failure or loss of air due to the separation. Again, it was only by chance that this was caught and all four tires replaced . The tire dealer stated that he hasn't ever seen all four completely separate at the exact same location all the way around the tire. It is without a doubt a manufacturing error , old /burnt rubber used in the tire making process.

My wife was driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission on a dirt road at slow speed. Right wheels got in soft dirt, car skidded, she braked and tried to steer out of skid. The car turned around backwards, slid to almost a stop, slowly rolled on to left side, then on roof. Car was totaled, she was not injured. We at first assumed rollover occurred because braking during skid caused the engine to die locking the front wheels causing loss of control. However this does not explain why the car rolled at such a slow speed. Roll occurred on fairly level ground. We later inspected the car and found both left tires flat with beads separated. It appears that sliding sideways caused the beads to break, the tires went instantly flat and the wheels dug into the dirt causing the slow 1/2 rollover. Note: tires were 165/65r15 goodyear integrity. This size was not available in the form.
