Default Tires

Has anyone had a problem with the factory installed tires on their XB? My right rear blew today, huge split in the tire wall.

Thanks.

RIGHT REAR!?!?!?


ME TOO!!!




the problem was a bad valve stem. I replaced the stem, but the tire had a visible blemish on it afterwards:










This happened on the 3rd day of owning the car. I really honestly didn't car, because 2 days later i got my 18x7.5" suzuki stars and tires

If you think it is a defect take it to Good year and they will replace it for free depending on tire wear. There is a defect warenty through Good year.

Thanks, no begins the battle with the Goodyear store. The first one I called told me that I had to take the tire back where I bought it. Hello? What is this warranty piece of paper I have here mean? It tells me to take tire to you.

Dumb people are going to be the death of me yet.

My right passenger tire went flat, dealer said because of a nail, but they could not find the nail. The girl who was checking in the car saw the tire in the back, and asked if I used the spare!

When I took delivery of my Scion all four tires were inflated way beyond the maximum pressure rating for the tires.
