“3 years ago I bought a set of 4 goodyear warngler duratrac tires for my Suzuki vitara. After aprox 1,5 years I go to tire service shop to repair air loss around the rim. With tire unmounted we found inner layer separation. I reported this to the seller and after checking with goodyear represantive they changed the tire with new one. After another aprox 1,5 years I have to go to tire shop for another repair and found another tire with split layers. We checked all other tires minus warranty replaced one and they all are split from inside. …”
