#18 of 27 Goodyear Eagle LS tires are crap by dbcanada Aug 06, 2007 (7:05 pm)
I have a 2005 PT Touring Edition 2.4 Turbo. It came with 205/55R16 Eagle LS tires. After about 25,000 miles they have less than 1/2 the tread remaining. They seemed ok for the first 10,000 but after that the dry pavement traction has degraded; they slip, chirp and spin in place way to easily. Wet weather performance is becoming worrisome. Check this site for lots of helpful tire reviews. http://www.1010tires.com/TireReviews/Goodyear_Eagle_LS_tire_reviews14.html   Based on so many positive reviews for them, I will probably buy Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds in the near future. A second choice might be theYokohama Avid TRZ. Replies to this message: roosters940 (Aug 06, 2007 8:56 pm)

Replying to: dbcanada (Aug 06, 2007 7:05 pm) Sorry to hear your tire problems. Buy remember my posting was about the damned chromed WHEELS that are causing constant tire-pressure leaks because they corrode all the time!

At any rate, I hit a rather large pothole on the NYS thruway and this bulge renders the tire a danger and must be replaced. I was told that the tension break could cause a blow out.

I too have tires with egg shaped lumps and one with a slit on the sidewall, and the steering wheel vibrations. Chrysler/goodyear need to recall the tires and wheels. I suppose they are just waiting for someone to be ..well..in all essence murdered by the people at goodyear.

Replying to: 4xford4 (Nov 21, 2007 12:56 pm) Why don't we all bombard Chrysler with protests? I contacted the regional manager, and he wouldn't replace my lousy, corroding wheels. Now I'm going to write my newspaper's "help" column and see if I can embarrass Chrysler into action!   Jesse Replies to this message: burosky (Nov 27, 2007 8:56 am) deputy215 (Feb 01, 2008 9:53 am) redwagon5 (Feb 13, 2008 8:50 pm)

Replying to: roosters940 (Nov 21, 2007 3:54 pm) Looks like this is something that should be reported to the National Traffic and Safety Board or one of those agencies that can force a company to do a recall. Replies to this message: deputy215 (Feb 01, 2008 9:53 am) redwagon5 (Feb 13, 2008 8:50 pm)

Replying to: burosky (Nov 27, 2007 8:56 am) I'm having problems with air leaking from my tires , do you have any answers? My PT has the aluminum coated wheels. It takes about 2-4 weeks for them to drop 10-20 pounds. Replies to this message: redwagon5 (Feb 13, 2008 8:50 pm)
