“I bought my suburban with goodyear tracker ii tires on it from the dealer in dec 06. In april 07 a tire was flat. It had a small slice in the sidewall of the tire between the grooves. Nothing had touched or scraped against the tire to cause it. I bought another one from walmart as they are only ones able to get and sell them. I had taken the wheels off for the summer and put them back on in sept 07. In march 08 on this new tire, it had a leak in the grooved section of the side wall near the tread. Again nothing punctured it or scraped it. …”
