Description of the problem | The tread/steelbelt on the goodyear eagle ls tires installed as oem on my 2001 chrysler minivan (purchased new sept. 2002) have separated after 13 mo./28,000 miles. The separation is worse on the front than on the back with one tire having a 12 1/2 in. Separation and numerous small splits/separations and the other having a 6 inch separation and numerous small splits/separations. The dealership responded that this was normal wear/tear which is difficult for me to believe. There are 7 other complaints regarding this tire with nhtsa, five of which are for steal belt separation. This should be investigated immediately. *la |
