On 7 Oct 2000, I noticed that there was an outer sidewall separation on the right front (drivers side) tire (Goodyear Wrangler St ) of my 2000 Dodge Dakota pickup truck. The separations consisted of 3-4 splits that were separated by distance. The splits were from 2-3 inches longs and the depth of my fingernails or perhaps 1/8th of an inch. The separations were on the portion of teh tire, right above the steel tire rims and are arranged in a circular pattern. The tire appeared to have a small lump on its sidewall. The tire had about 12,000 miles on it at the time. I notified Goodyear customer svc at the corporation, chrsyler corporation (Corp file #7828657), chesterfield Dodge, midlothian, va (where I purchased teh truck during June 2000) and the gemini Goodyear auto shop, harbour drive, midlothian, va. The gemini Goodyear auto shop replaced the tire on 10 Oct 2000. I notified Goodyear corporation and chrsyler corporation that I preferred all tires to be removed and replaced with a brand other than Goodyear Wrangler St. It appears to me that all tires on my truck might be from the same manufacturers lot number and could be a potential source of problems. I can be reached at home at 804-739-1572 or at work 804-786-6627. My name is william H. fennell (tiresize: P215/75R15)( dot number: Tire size: P215/75R15 )
