| Description of the problem | i had a failure of a goodyear integrity tire with only 29,000 miles it. It had uneven tread wear and the wire strands poking out from a broken steel belt. This tire was on the right rear position of my 2006 toyota sienna this defective tire caused my sienna to wobble violently with speeds above 35mph. This violent wobble also caused abnormal tread wear on the inside surface of all four tires on the vehicle. This tire was one of two goodyear integrity tires i purchased from fox river tire and supply on 5/10/08, when the vehicle mileage was 21,059 miles. These two tires were on the front axle until i purchased two more goodyear integrity tires at abe and doc? S service, inc. On 7/16/09 at a mileage of 35,247. At this time the subject tire was moved to right rear position. When the mileage on the 2006 sienna reached 50,793 the vehicle started wobbling violently over 35 mph. The vehicle was taken to abe and doc? S service, inc. To diagnose the problem. I was told that improper wheel alignment had caused all the tires to wear on the inside surface and that wire strands were exposed on the right rear tire. I asked if the tire had a ? Pro-rated ? Warranty and was told, no! It was suggested i purchase two new goodyear integrity tires at $165. 00 each and a wheel alignment. Instead i took the sienna to st. Charles toyota for service, where i purchased two michelin tires and a wheel alignment. The toyota technician stated the alignment was good (receipt and computer alignment report attached). The toyota dealer advised us to report this defect to goodyear. |
