Goodyear wrangler tire failure. I have 235/17/70 tires on my f150. The sidewalls are peeling, revealing white... I have had two sidewall failures resulting in highway blowouts. The remaining two tires appear to be destined for the same fate. Additionally, the tread is showing premature wear. I will be replacing the tires with another brand. *tr

I had left my car for about five minutes. When i returned the tire was flat, and i noticed a slit in the sidewall. Later i filled the tire with air. The visible slit did not leak air, but another smaller crack did. There was no other damage to the tire. *jb

The tires are wearing uneven on the front treads. Consumer stated that he checked the weight of the truck for the weight required for tires and they did not match. Manufacturer stated they were aware of the problem, however, no response from the manufacturer on the tire replacement.*ak

Driving on the freeway (approx. 65 - 70 mph) and the right passenger tire blew out on the sidewall. My 2004 f-150 only has 9700 miles on it to date. Unfortunately, there were no corrective actions taken to correct the failure. The dealership as well as other tire stores, did not carry this particular tire (255x65xr17). Ford leaves you with no other alternative except to purchase all new wheels and tires. *jb
