Tuesday night on the last leg of our trip, an hour and a half from home. I was rolling along at about 63-64mph, BANG, I look to my left and see a bit of smoke. I slow down and safely off to the edge.
As I get out to inspect to see what happened, it was my front driver side tire. A blow out. The MH handled great getting off to the side as I had no idea it was the tire.
Got a replacement tire and the guy told me to go to goodyear and ask for a replacement. I only had 8100 miles on them.
Has anyone else had any success in getting Goodyear to replace a tire with sidewall failure?
I figure it is worth a try. It is the original tires which came on it.

Do you have room for a child? Consider fostering/adopting a child. Thousands of children are in need of a loving family.
Yes, I have. It was on a one year old Chrysler that was under warranty. one of the front side walls developed a bubble on it, took it into Goodyear and left with both front tire replaced, no questions asked.

I haven't had a blow out but did have two tread separations. One last year and one this past may. Both times caused damage to fender skirts and sheet metal. Both times goodyear sent the tire to Akron for inspection. Both times goodyear paid for the damage and a new tire. This was a G rated tire with 12 plies. For some reason we are hearing more and more tire problems. I know I was not over weight and was aired to proper psi.

Remember all the "bad press" about Michelin failures? Now it's catching up to GoodYear too!!

How do you know if you did not have a slow leak and then it blew? Do you have a pressure monitoring system?
If your "tire guy" was not a GY dealer, there is your problem... the logistics to get it inspected by GY.
If it was not caused by low inflation pressures, they can tell, then I would think GY would make good on it.

My blowout was the inside rear tire, drivers' side. Hit something....hole about the size of a quarter in the inside sidewall. Happened at 27,000 miles, tho...so I was on my own. End result...bought NEW Goodyears (and 4 shocks). Now...8,000 miles on the new ones and all's well. So far.
