| Description of the problem | Goodyear eagle rs-a emt (high performance all-season) - runflat re: goodyear eagle rsa tread separation (tire failure) i have a serious problem with the original tires, no modifications to vehicle, 2007 srt8 jeep grand cherokee both front tires developed an unnatural groove on the inner edge (where tread meets inner sidewall) causing tread separation and failure, actually at the same time. Tire pressure when to zero. Nothing was rubbing the tire, but looking at it you would think it is the only explanation. Tread separation in my case happened at about 30,000 miles from new at about 40 miles per hour. I can send photos to anyone who wants them. There are many references to the same type of tire failure online over several years, one example being with an srt8 forum http://www. Srt8oc. Com/forums/showthread. Php? P=211455#post211455 *js |
