Description of the problem | Goodyear assurance fuel max 225 50/r17 tires that are defective are being sold to consumers. Goodyear was contacted but they will not listen and address the issue. Purchased 4 brand new tires 7/1/11 and garage installed the new front tires. Could not install back tires due to garage found that one of the tires had a bubble in the tire on the side wall with a small whole in it. Defective tire was returned. Replacement tire received 7/5/11 and two back tires were installed on the car. Car driven 15 miles home from garage and not driven since then. Rear passenger flat tire discovered on morning of 7/7/11, could have been flat before then but car has not been driven since brought home from garage when back tires installed. Goodyear was once again contacted to advise that the tires are defective, they will not investigate issue. Flat tire was filled with air and this tire has the exact same problem as the other tire.
