NHTSA complaint #723517, filed 2000-06“Goodyear, eagle ga, original equipment, 37000 miles mounted on a 1998, Dodge NEON. While traveling at 60 MPH passengers rear tire had tread separation, and then went flat. Tire size p185/65 r14.”
NHTSA complaint #8002454, filed 2002-01“Have had multiple flat tires (no nails) on the front tires only at the edge of the tread. Yesterday, the right front exploded at 65 MPH. The tread totally separated from both side walls at the edge of the tread (the same point that all punctures have occured). It rolled over and stayed under the rim which made stopping extremely difficult. A slight touch of the break caused the car to turn sideways. Took 150 yards to stop. Caused minor damage to the rim and inner panel. I have raced cars off and on for years and almost lost this one. …”
