Purchased my 4 tires, Good Year Assurance WeatherReady in Dec 2019 with 42,304 miles. My tire indicator light came on alerting of low tire pressure. Upon inspection of rear passenger tire, substantial dry rot on tire sidewall, inside. I only have 39,800 miles on the tire. Tire is a 60,000 mile tire. Tire is defective due to dry rot. Dry rot is so bad, tire does not hold air.

Forester

  • 20,000 miles
I was driving down I-40 East between morrisonville and cary in North Carolina where the speed limit is 65 mph and had a plow out. There were only 20,000 miles on the tires, I just had the vehicle serviced in may of this year. The yokohama tire shredded just leaving the tread and the rim. Fortunately, there were no injuries except for the fear of my seven-year-old grandson, on an interstate with vehicles speeding down the highway on a Friday afternoon, for the weekend. I had to purchase a new tire and now I am told I will have to buy 3 more because the truck is a 4 wheel drive. There was more than a half a penny of tread left on this tire and now I have to delay a trip because of the problems with my tires. I did not run over a nail nor did I rub against any that would cause a tear in the tire. These tires are defective and as a Subaru owner am disappointed with the product I purchased. I have enjoyed my Subaru and have a long admirer of the vehicle for years. I plan to trade this vehicle in the next 2 years for another vehicle and was planning to retire with this one.
