TIRES:SIDEWALL
IN JULY 1997 I PURCHASED A SET (4) OF GOODRICH COMP T/A, VR4, 205G5R15 TIRES FOR APPROXIMATELY $505. 6 MONTHS LATER I HAD A BLOWOUT LEAVING A SHOPPING CENTER. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND HAD IT REPLACED WITH AN IDENTICAL TIRE AT A LOCAL STATION FOR APPROXIMATELY $125. IN DECEMBER 1998 I HAD ANOTHER BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AND WHILE I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT IT WAS CLOSE. I HAD AN IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT INSTALLED FOR AROUND $110. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED A GOLF BALL SIZE KNOT ON ONE OF THE TWO REMAINING ORIGINAL TIRES. I'VE HAD IT REPLACED (MY STATION HAS SAVED THE TIRE) FOR ANOTHER $100. THE REMAINING TIRE NOW HAS A SMALL KNOT DEVELOPING ON THE SIDEWALL EXACTLY WHERE THE OTHER TIRE DEVELOPED THE KNOT. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS TIRE ALSO. IN SHORT I BOUGHT A SET OF TIRES THATS HAD TWO BLOWOUTS AND TWO KNOTS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. A $500 SET OF TIRES HAS COST APPROXIMATELY $900 IN TWO YEARS AND I HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF TIRES THAT HAVE FAILED. IT APPEARS THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED WITH INHERENT DANGEROUS DEFECTS.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 205G5R15 )
