Description of the problem	On 5/19/13 i purchased 4 new good year assurance fuel max tires. After driving less than 5,000 miles on the tires my tire pressure light came on 3 times, &when i checked them, all 4 had gone low (by 5-7lbs of pressure each time) . After the 3rd time of this happening, in less than 6 months of purchase, i decided to search online to see if anyone else was having similar problems with these ties. The results were scary; i found dozens and dozens of blogs & reviews stating these tires were slowly loosing air, bubbling &/or bursting. Most stated cracks were found on the sidewall inside the tire, causing pressure to go low. After seeing these results, i went outside and inspected my tires more closely, and the front driver side had a small bubble in it. I immediately took it back to good year and was told that the bubble was a road hazard issue cause by hitting a pot hole (and this was before anyone even took the tire off to inspect it). I asked why all 4 tires have been slowly loosing air, and their reply was "that is odd, that doesn't usually happen like that." based on my findings from the internet, i asked them to inspect the internal sidewalls of the tires, just to make sure there were no cracks that could be causing the slow air leaks. I opened a file with gy's customer service and they asked the store to inspect the inside of all 4 tires, and to send them an inspection report, but all the tech did was spray the outside of the tire to check for air bubbles/leaks (but did not remove the tires to check the inside walls). The tire with the bubble was replaced, but i was not allowed to keep the tire to have it inspected. I was told the manufacturer would inspect it, but that will take several weeks. I'm very concerned with the number of reviews/blogs online with the same/similar complaints about these tires, so i am filing this complaint to document my experience with them. I've had my car since 2008 and never had any problems with my old tires.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
