Description of the problem	My complaint is with the goodyear fortera h. L. Tires. They tend to hydroplane even on a level surface and rain water is evenly distributed across the roadway. Even brand new set has same problem. It seems to me that it is due to the sidewall tread pattern. I have brought it to east hills jeep (greenvale,n. Y.) and they say it's not their problem. I took it to goodyear,(freeport,n. Y.) and the store manager says that he has sold them but has never noticed that on the right side mounted tires-the sidewall tread pattern faces forward. On the left side mounted tires the sidewall tread pattern faces the rear. These tires are on the honda,pilot. The chevy,traverse. The ford,edge and the jeep grand cherokee 2008 which i own.... Sometimes when i am in places like shopping malls,and i see other drivers of the fore mentioned vehicles i will ask them if they have had unwanted hydroplaning with their vehicle and they respond yes,i point out that i believe it's the tire. I also show them that the right side faces forward and the left side faces the rear and most of them say they never noticed it until i've brought it to their attention. I rotate my tires about every 6,000 miles. I try to keep a good wheel alignment and this problem persists. I obtained a second pair from the dealer and yet another from goodyear and even their mechanics did not notice until i spoke up and pointed it out to them. Almost everyone i've spoken to say they never noticed this before. One mechanic at goodyear went back inside and checked to see if these tires are considered omnidirectional,and found that they are not. Also even reading reviews on this tire,i found no one who seems to get more than 35,000 miles off these tires. Can you help me get to the root of this complaint. Or is it just me ? Please give me some feedback.

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.
