| Description of the problem | The side walls on all the goodyear wrangler st tires on my jeep have dry rot. While driving on a interstate, late at night, one of the tires blow through the side wall. Due to a slow leak in one of the other tires in the area of the side wall, sullivan tire, a local goodyear tire dealer, inspected the tires and advised me that all the tires had some degree of dry rot in the vicinity of the side wall (a possible quality control problem) and they should be replaced. Sullivan tire is contacting goodyear for instructions on the replacements. *nm |
