1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Tires Problems

“After 27,000 miles, all four goodyear, wrangler st tires exhibit cracks, adjacent to the rim for the full distance around each tire. The local goodyear store was familiar with the problem and has offered to replace all four tires on a prorated basis. Based upon similar complaints on this web site, and the potential ugly results from tire failure, I am registering my complaint also. The tire size is 225/75r16.”

“Sidewall of tire blew out going down a mountain highway. No tread puncture just massive blowout out tire that had been replaced only 5 months earlier. The other tires were the same model but original equipment. Because of where this blew out, my son and I could have been killed. (tiresize: p225/75r16)”

“My wife was traveling down I-20 in ga, in the far left lane at the speed limit when right rear tire sidewall blewout, causing her to struggle to maintain control of vehicle. Maneuvered to the roadside emergency lane on the right,through significant traffic. A passing tow truck asissted her, and advised that had the tire blowen occurred on the front of the car, she would have undoubtably lost control of the car and would have had a serious accident. (tiresize: p245/70r16)( DOT number: tire size: p245/70r16 )”

“After almost twice a month trips to the service provider and being told that my allignment was a result of my driving there was a recall posted for a part that caused allignment problems. Although this was eventually fixed, my tires suffered and had to be replaced very prematurely. After contacting goodyear and chrysler I was told the tires were my responsibility and that the bad part would not have caused significant tire damage. I still feel that although the problem is better it is still apparent and I would like it to be resolved. …”

“The contact stated while driving 70 MPH on a normal highway, a tire failure was noticed. No warning signal alerted the contact. The rear left tire blew out after tread separation and the vehicle sustained body damage. The vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the rear right tire's tread had separated. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The tire was a dunlop p235/70r16.”
