What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I thought I must have run over something causing the blowout. Changed the tire and continued on. At approximately 100 miles down the road the second goodyear blew. This tire came apart identical to the first one. I pulled into a truck/tire shop and had them assess the situation.
1) the first blowout happened only 10 minutes (!) into a trip in november 2003 on a cool rainy sunday afternoon on a highway in ontario driving at highway speeds. The service personnel commented in the large sidewall ?zipper blowout? And pointed out the brown discoloration (rust!) visible .
