Description of the problem	This complaint documents a very disturbing situation regarding goodyear eagle rs-a p245/45r18 tires on our 2004 nissan maxima. We are the original owners and there were 29,500 miles on the car at the time. We had a violent flat tire (passenger rear) and upon removal noticed that the inside side wall had split in multiple regions around the circumference of the tire. When the car was up on the lift as the tire was being replaced at a goodyear dealer, it was noticed that the remaining three tires also had multiple long, deep inside side wall cracks, evident around the entire circumference. It was obvious that the car was extremely unsafe to drive in this condition, and we had all 4 tires replaced. We have no idea how long the tires had been in this condition, though it looked like the rubber had degraded significantly. Since the cracks were on the inside, they were impossible to see with normal visual inspection. We consider ourselves extremely lucky that we were not seriously injured or killed as a result. It is also evident that this is a defective condition of the tires, for this to happen to all four tires at only 29,500 miles. Once home, we checked the internet to see if there was any recall issued. We were horrified to find numerous complaints from owners of 2004 nissan maximas that have experienced the same problem. We find it hard to believe that prestigious companies such as goodyear or nissan would be so irresponsible as to allow people to unknowingly drive around on hazardous tires. We are extremely concerned that other nissan maxima owners may experience the same problem but may be hurt or killed as a result. It is irresponsible of both goodyear and nissan to not respond to this situation. We believe they should issue a recall or safety alert and fully reimburse the owners for the tire cost. We then sent letters to both goodyear and nissan to address their intent. *jb
