“My wife's x type 2002 Jaguar was riding very rough and I asked our local mechanic to balance the tires. He called in shock advising that the interior wall of a rear goodyear american eagle tire was cracked all around the rim of the tire and we were lucky to be alive. From the outer wall and the tread the tire appeared perfect. I have the tire and digital photographs which I will forward when provided an e-mail address.”

NHTSA complaint #10030599, filed 2003-08, 19,000 miles“I have a 2002 Jaguar X-Type equipped with pirelli p6 low profile tires and alloy rims.

I have talked to other Jaguar owners regarding these tires and find that this is a common failure. I believe that these tires are failing excessively. I believe that these tires are a safety problem. I believe that they are a misapplication for the service intended. The incident date listed is the last incident of failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10068232, filed 2004-05, 25,600 miles“While traveling on the highway, I had a flat tire. The tire went flat extremely fast, not quite a blow out. Upon removing the front passenger tire, I found a hole worn on the inside sidewall approximately 2 inches up from the thread. There is complete band of removed rubber around the entire tire with the hole exposing some white fibers. I expected a nail or other protrusion, not a hole on the thinnest part of the tire. I looked at the other tire (drivers side) and noticed the same problem is happening. …”
