I have a 09 Maxima SV. Last night on July 12, 2009 my rear tire blow out. I have the Goodyear Eagle RSA P245 R 19 on my car and they only have 16,000 miles. Have they been recalled also?

Thank You
Rickey

Nissan of St. Charles just replaced two of my tires (Eagle RSA) P245/45R18 V-speed rated. I had just purchased these tires less than 6 months ago, and again another, almost $500 to spend on new tires.

I don’t believe I should be paying for another set of tires and I am in hopes that you will compensate me for these tires or, I will have no other choice but to spread the word, that Goodyear tires do not stand up to their quality standard.

These tires couldn’t hold up to small potholes. Both tires had big bubbles in them.

My dealership told me to go to a Goodyear tire place and I did. I went to Krage’s Auto & Tire Goodyear in West Chicago and Shannon told that it was from a pot hole. Shouldn’t your tires be able to handle a small pothole?

Will you take responsiblity for this?
