| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 maxima and have goodyear rsa245/45/18 tires. I have had a blow out while driving on long island expressway. Checked my tires this weekend found side wall cracks on both front tires and severe sidewall failure on inside of rear tires. I have replaced two tires during the first year due side wall cuts was told it was road hazard. How could a car with just 40k have had 3 out of four tires replaced and now i need to replace all four again. These tires need to be recalled before there is a death. *nm |
