| Description of the problem | I have 2004 nissan quest, it came with goodyear eagle ls2, the size 225/6516. There is only one company which makes that tire, goodyear. I rotated tire as suggested. The tire traction is lowest one can get. After driving 20,000 miles on the tire started showing severe wear. Bubble showing on the outside wall. Wrote to nissan 3 times, they never bothered me contact me back, called once and told about the tire problem, the answer was we cannot do anything you have to put same time i. E. Goodyear 225/6516. And good year knowing that they only manufacture that size priced that tire is $150+ each, but actually it is worth $39. 99. The problem is it is just the monopoly between nissan and goodyear, they could have chosen different size, which will give consumer more choice. *nm |
