| Description of the problem | Goodyear eagle rsa tires p245/45r18, on nissan maxima 2004, with 20,000 miles. All four tires are defective. Tread is separating from sidewall. Goodyear has no recall and nissan has no recall on this issue. The dealer i took the car to said that mine was about the 3rd nissan he seen with this issue. I just took my 2004 nissan maximum into the dealer for a front seat and undercarriage recall issue and ask them to look at my front tire because the sidewall of the tire had a large split in it. The dealer told me that all four tires were bad on my car and the inside of the tires were much worse than the split in the sidewall that i pointed out to them. My car only has 20,000 miles on it and the dealer would not replace the tires because goodyear will not acknowledge this problem and send the dealers replacement tires. *jb |
