“I have goodyear eagle ls-2 runonflat 245/45/18 with 18k on them. I started hearing a tire noise when I would drive over 50mph. I then looked at my front passenger tire and noticed a bulge. I do not remember hitting any pothole or curb that would cause this to happen. After investigating this online, I found that this is a problem with several owners of these tires. Goodyear should reimburse anyone who has to replace. I will not be installing these tires again and I would advise others not to buy a new or used car with these tires on them. …”
NHTSA complaint #10639707, filed 2014-09, 18,130 miles“Car was purchased used with 10,000 mi. Within 1 year, about 13,000 mi. Bubbles appeared on 2 goodyear runflat tires, due to potholes. After replacing 2 tires, I replaced all 4 with bridgestone runflats. No issues with bridgestone tires. Goodyears are not good, and should not be used on these cars.”
