I OWN 2007 TOYOTA MATRIX. 28,161 CURRENT MILEAGE. FOUR (4) GOOD YEAR TIRES - EAGLE P205/55R/16 COME WITH MATRIX. DEFECTIVE TIRES. OTHER 3 TIRES STILL LOOKS GOOD CONDITION BUT ONE OF THE SIDEWALL DRIED PREMATURELY AND THE TIRE APART INTO 2 PIECES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I SENT THE EMAIL TO CONTACT GOODYEAR LAST SAT 8/27/2011. FOR SAFETY REASON, I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE DIFFERENT MODEL TIRES. BUT GOODYEAR DID NOT REPLY AT ALL. I TAKE SOME PICTURES ALSO. *TR

POTENTIAL FAILURE - EXECESSIVE TIRE WEAR. I HAD THE TOYOTA MATRIX TIRES ROTATED AT THE DEALERSHIP AT 5,000 MILES WAS NEVER TOLD THAT I HAD, WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN VERY NOTICABLE WEAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AGAIN AT 21,000 , AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE TIRES HAD VERY EXECISIVE WEAR FROM A THE FRONT END BEING OUT OF ALINEMENT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND A CAREFUL DRIVER. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS OUT OF ALINEMENT FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE ALERTED ME OF MY 5,000 CHECK UP.*AK
