Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)TIRE SIZE - 225/50R19. MY 2017 SUBARU LEGACY HAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES. AS I HAND WASH MY CAR I NOTICED THAT ALL 4 TIRES HAVE SIGNIFICANT CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALL. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND I OFTEN PICK-UP OUR 3 GRANDCHILDREN FROM SCHOOL WHICH ALSO CONCERNS ME. THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS BUT I'VE ALSO READ A FEW SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE GOODYEAR WEBSITE BUT THEY REFERRED TO THE PROBLEM AS DRY ROT? THANK GOD NO ACCIDENTS OR FLATS BUT I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES LOSING AIR. I JUST WANT PIECE OF MIND AND I WILL GO TO A GOODYEAR TIRE DEALER SOON TO GET THEIR OPINION. HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SHORTLY. THANK YOU!
I NOTICED 1 OF THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON MY NEW SUBARU LEGACY HAD A SIDEWALL BULGE. WHEN LOOKING AT THE WHEEL YOU COULD NOT SEE ANY MAKES TO INDICATE I HIT A POT HOLE OR CURB. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED ANOTHER TIRE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE FIRST TIRE AND OFFERED TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I REPORTED IT. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I SAW THE SECOND TIRE THE WARRANTY HAD LAPSED. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TIRES TO COME IN I DID NOTICE ONE OF THE BULGES HAD DOUBLED IN SIZE. IN THE TIME I SAW IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND REPLACING IT I PUT NO MORE THAN 300 MILES ON THE CAR.
