    Goodyear wrangler sr-a tires that came on the truck from new were not holding pressure. One in particular ad to be aired up every few days.

    I have had 2 tires spontaneously fail in last two weeks. The first was on the highway and caused 2200 dollars in damage to the vehicle and almost causing a wreck. The second blew out while i was in my driveway traveling at less than 5mph. Both tires appeared to fail in the same way, perpendicular to the sidewalk across the tread.

I have had the tires balanced/rotated/road forced balance, etc. Front drive shafts replaced (it's a 4x4 model) and…
