I am just thankful none of my family has been hurt or in any accidents. The actual model is the Goodyear Assurance Comfort Tread P195/60R-15. Thankfully Goodyear has pulled this model from production.
This morning I was actually getting bursted tire #5 replaced. They put the donut spare on and said they would call when the tire came in. The tire they ordered was a different model and I had it placed on the car. I drove less than two miles when this one blew making it the 6th different tire of the original model to have blown. Here is a picture of one of the earlier ones. I was able to capture the bubble before it burst.
Notice how new the tread still looks. This tire was less than 4 months old on the car when it happened. These will be the last Goodyears I ever own and I have been a faithful customer for many years.
On the first tire it didn't cost to replace but it did cost a tow. The spare was out of air even though I had asked for it to be checked when I purchased the tires. The second tire cost me around $40 in replacement fees and only after I argued for a reduction in costs. Tire number 3 cost me an extra $70 and I was pretty burned at this point. By the time tire #4 burst it cost me a whopping $135 because of tread wear and all. Today's tire #5 cost me another $25 making the grand total of 4 bad Goodyear tires over $1080. Did I get a deal or what? Thanks for nothing Goodyear and I will never buy another tire from you again and I think I have a few hundred thousand miles of driving left in me and my family.
Look for the next post to be a bit more positive on the company that replaced them today. I will reveal them later after this has had a chance to circulate.

(Note to readers, these are what I replaced the Goodyears with.)
